That it is available thirty to forty years after our cars were built, that it is not easy for us to just fabricate, I recommend that we just suck it in and remind ourselves that the people who do make this stuff have to make their living too. This is one of those rare investments that improves the value of your vehicle enough to actually pay for itself.

Don't get me wrong Colin. I'm MORE than willing to shell out for good parts and I almost always do. I also spend my money with and support the VW vendors who take the time to get NLA parts remade to sell.

However, I can't guarantee that I won't continue to grimace, whine, sniffle and complain when I "crack" my wallet open and order the parts. :) :)

Fair enough. I am almost off the deep end with this rash reckless recent purchase. My Paypal account had just reached five digits on October 24, now it is two.
