I recently purchased a Motometer gauge holder and a Maskottchen First Aid Kit from Thorsten , They arived with no problem a few days after I contacted him. Thorsten packed these extremely well taking great care ensuring they would arrive with out damage.
This was a very smooth and quick transaction with clear communication.
I will definitely buy from him again. |

Thorsten has just rebuilt my spare '65 Beetle speedo. I had the full 'showcar Metalstyle' look service and the odometer set to suit my wheels as I'm running are 155/60/15's up front.
The restoration comprises :Blasting and powdercoating of speedo housing
-New bulbholders -New glass lens -New Turn Signal/Generator/Oil Pressure/Flashlight Filter Gels -Repainted sheet metals inside
-Reset the odometer to zero or to a different mileage of your choice
-Check,clean,overhaul and lubricate the mechanics
-Calibrate the speedometer to standard tires
-Cleaning the original chrome trim ring using the original dial faceplate
I also ordered a NOS VW Dash speedo rubber seal, and had a new white needle fitted, as mine was quite 'yellowy'.
The speedo now looks like it was just assembled at the factory
He is up-front and clear with his prices and the prices are good. You get a clear order form to state the work that you want done and he provides lots of before and after photos.
Very Good communication.
Excellent professional service.
Thanks Thorsten

Purchased a rare 1953 coil with the very hard to find oval hole in the strap. Very pleased with the transaction, super fast shipping (4 business days) and great communications. All I can say is if Thorsten has what you’re looking for, buy it with confidence! I have purchased many times from Thorsten and he’s absolutely the best seller on The Samba! |

Thorsten,
Than You for the pleasant transaction. Highly recommended to all.
I have purchased 1954 oval Hella lenses and Thorsten was very helpful and provided good service and kept communication lines open at all times.
You always provide good service and never disappoint.

Great brackets, far superior to the ones received with my Ra-Bambus reproduction parcel tray. Quality far better than expected. Super communication with a very quick response time. Thanks again Thorsten, Steve |
