Fabulous pics - especially the first one. Where were you?

Great car - I used to visit B R Motorsport regularly 10 - 15 years ago... a fantastic outfit and Brian Ricketts was a VW/Audi genius.

Personally I'd lose the aero wipers - they just look too modern for the car IMO, and ETTO of course. Loving the VW Motorsport grille badge though.

cheers it used to have all its work done there back in the day. it now has all its bits done at tsr down at bridgewater. as for the aero wipers they look much better in person :)

all pictures were taken at kingsbury waterpark which is just up the road from me.

thanks for all the comments...

as we have had the car from near enough new she used to get all her stuff done there. i dont think B.R motorsport trade anymore though. but it used to spend many days up in the workshop before they closed.
