Well, they're different at least.
I guess they'd popular with young ladies maybe as they could be classed as "cute" maybe??

I like the randomness of the concept, putting two things together that shouldn't really go, a teddy and a wheel!?!

But I like wheels to be asthetically pleasing to the vehicle they're attached to, and on the whole I find symentary more pleasing to the eye..

Factoid alert: The people considered most attractive have a closer symmetry from side to side. Liz Hurley was almost perfectly symmetrical )facially wise about the vertical plane I might add!)

Any way, a polo on an adjacent estate had the bear wheels and like Doc I thought that some mummsy types might find them appealing, or the Colin Hunts (fastshow) of this world but personally i ain't a fan - at all.

Probably best you did add that Bandit 'cos apparently there are always small differences in the mammary department! And some are more unequal than others :P

As to those bear wheels, when going to the pub you wouldn't want to be parking that in full view, would you? :wink:

I just assumed that making a wheel that looked like a teddy bear was the only way of injecting even the smallest essence of character into a VW.

So does anyone have any phase 3 wheel trims? These were the second ones I posted ...

How about some steel wheels too if you have any laying about and you're near to me?
