In Belgium, as well as lower parts of Western Europe, we’re hitting the fourth wave of the corona pandemic.
The fact is this is the “youngster wave”.

More young people are getting in the hospital and are even dying from Corona.
Percentage of vaccinated people ending up in the hospital is extremely low.

In Belgium we’re now at 74% of the entire population who is vaccinated, but we need more.
So if you didn’t yet, get that shot and let’s continue our cool VW life, it’s worth it!

We don’t stop, every week we bring new parts and this week is no exception, welcome to our weekly news…

Today we like to release the bench seat upper holder brackets welded against your bulkhead.

When your splittie bus has ever  been victim of front seat upgrade that swapped that cool bench for some modern car rubbish, chances are big they cut away the original brackets… with our brackets you can bring that all back to original specs.

They will fit perfectly on our  brand new bulkheads.

These are the perfect solution as well when you simply forgot to cut the original brackets when you scrapped your old cut out bulkhead left overs
