Did everyone just buy the badges as every passat sold in that era wasn't 130bhp in fact most were probably bogo 90 bhp ones. I really don't get the point of sticking badges on cars if the car doesn't even have that engine or model whatever.

Speaking of cleaning I have to clean my one next weekend the amount of flys stuck to the front of it is not even funny not looking forward to removing them. Going to try some autoglym polish too so hopefully it will turn out well.

It was probably a 90 bhp you passed :pac: ah no I'd imagine the Alfa would be quicker than even a factory 130. Are them Alfa 140 bhp or what type engine is it?
