When you order any Winkler kits, like the carat bumpers or the rear spoiler,
you have to consider that they are not genuine parts.
I ordered a front carat bumper, and it was much too weak, too thin and too
wobbly. And the side panels are glued onto the vanagon. No screws at all.
The
rear spoiler is like the projektzwo spoiler, but manufactured by Winkler. I
believe the quality is much poorer. And so is the center console.
I just wanted you to know that differences in prices DO come along with
differences in quality (as far as Winkler is concerned). BTW, they told me
the bumpers are like genuine parts, and when I returned them, Winkler became
very angry, no customer support at all...

Just my opinion...
