If you care about the quality and precision of your wire loom, I would steer clear of vwlooms. They claim to be the foremost experts in building harnesses so I ordered a harness from them for a premium. It is pretty far off both in color of wires and the type of material used to wrap the wires.
I reached out to Jon asking about issues I had with the quality and he came back with some nonsense about lawyers and getting back to me in 14 days... which of course he never did.
"We at VW Looms pride ourselves in producing only the best possible product for your vehicle. Quality is paramount. We only source the finest quality materials for your looms from the best industry leading manufacturers and suppliers."
The above is off their website... all rubbish. I have consulted a wire loom manufacturer here in the states who basically said that this harness is junk and is build to save time and money, not for quality. _________________ 11/2/54 L227 Strato Silver Ragtop - Soon to be L41 Black - Build Thread

you can buy at Raanas:

Just send them an Email, what car you have (model year) and they will sell you a harness from Wolfsburg West. |

I would recommend the Wolfsburg West harness 100x over the vwlooms harness. I went and got eyes on it. Although it is not as clean as the original as far as the sheathing, it is well-built and looks decent.
The biggest drawback with all of the aftermarket harnesses is the sheathing fitment. It is much looser than the original which makes it look cheap where it is visible (under the hood). Wolfsburg west does a better job than most. I have not seen a Wiring Works harness for comparison. _________________ 11/2/54 L227 Strato Silver Ragtop - Soon to be L41 Black - Build Thread
