Duvel, those cavity covers didn't seem to be a fantastic fit and seemed a little flimsy to me, which was a shame, as I had often thought they'd be quite good. They do however make a good use of the space for keeping items safe and separate. From John360's brochures they seemed very expensive new, if you could get hold of them that was, as apparently dealerships didn't seem to have many.

Nope. I have only seen _one_ car with this thing in sweden.
And its my mates car, who got me into this 300 sickness...

But its being scrapped so bodykit & snowcap for me!! :)
Does anyone know if the bodykits/spoilerkit come as standard items? Or are they all aftermarket parts?

One part im really having a hard time fiding is that plastic "staircase" on the rear window. (dont know the part´s name in english)

Picture of his car(bodykit not mounted):

bodykit was always only an option as far as i know

the staircase (think it was called a 'loufer' or something) was very rare - i've only ever seen it on mk2 300s - pre '84 at that.

Aha ok thanks.

Btw, are they called mk3´s if they are 88 or newer? (3door got a different rear hatch or wtf its called)

Mine is an 88, so i will have to find a "loufer" for that rear hatch, wich probably wont happend, due to them being popular in the 70s :(


Btw, you people seems to be so amazed that there are tons more snowcaps in finland than in the uk?
Let me put it this way, if they where called Rain caps there would be tons of em in UK, but now its snowcaps ;)

By the way:
Does anyone have a picture of those inserts that you put on your front bumper. (instead of those normal covers for the bumper bolts)

The covers look kinda like a grill... Same look as the "covers"(inserts) for the dimlights got...

i know what you mean about grill inserts - they are actually from automatics - they allowed air to flow thru the frame to cool the gearbox. I have one set, in my 360 - they are not *very* rare, but they aren't very common either.

i guessed there would not be many snow caps in this country :)

mk1 is the oooold shape, like this ->

mk2 has different front end -> Image

and mk3 is what you have - new rear lights, different bumpers and indicators on the bumpers

Yes was those i meant..

yes but now im talking about difference between mk2 and mk3...

mk3 hatch:

Mk2:

Is probably alot easier to find one for the mk2 since they where made earler back when they where more popular...
