hmm...thinking of the VW logo wired onto the grill reminds me of my own 
situation....

when i moved into this house ther was a mercades emblem haging in the 
garage..you know, the size of the VW logo on a bug..well, cince the vw 
emblem hanges on teh rearview, <PO's addept at decroming..filled the 
holes, i never got around to anything..etc..>, i figured why not?!, and 
imidiatly setabout wireing the mercades chrome onto the hood (bonnet) of 
my poor decrepit bug...everyone loves it...
