Anyone here own this Westfalia?
I saw this VR6 Westy in Austin this morning with a few unusual features notably, some plastic fender lips or fender flares, obviously made specifically for the Eurovan, some aftermarket LED headlights, and the identical “Bull Bar” above the front license plate with similar to my LED auxiliary lights mounted on it as well. However, mine is very loose and floppy and this one was rocksolid and I don’t see a bolt holding it anywhere, so wondering if it was somehow bonded to the plastic bumper skin?

Just a note: this is not a Westfalia by any means. It's a Winnebago.
The headlights appear to be the replacements from FK Automotive.
Pretty cool van. I'll keep an eye out for it.

I had to laugh at myself when you clarified that it is a Winnebago,...as one of my Eurovans IS a Winnebago,....but a 95. Still when I walked past it, I should have noticed that the various vents, propane tank set up, electrical shore power input, are all identical to my 95. |

To me, it’s the roof that’s the giveaway that it’s a Winnebago. No other company used that roof, or even one that looks remotely like it.

| Just search on the intranets, "T4 Fender Flares". You can buy them. |

I bought them from bus depot. I didn’t like the way they looked before I truck bedlined the bumpers, rockers, and inner lip of the wheel wells. They look great against that backgroud, are really easy to install and solidly in place, and I didn’t have to try and mask the curved exterior lip on the wheel wells.
Nice product and pretty affordable.
