In the UK we call them louvers, and they are sought after! Not really my style but you'll have lots of people on here trying to bite your hand off to buy them from you :lol:

ahh!

Ronnies correct the rear window louvre is even rarer than the famous snowcap ,

I have only ever seen one in the uk on an older 343,

if you can get one complete with all the clips you should have no problem selling it over here

just to remind members here of a long running joke its not a loafer

or a loofer

but a louvre

There's a Mk1 343 near me with a lourve fitted. I'd like one but am resigned to the fact that I'm more likely to come across rocking horse poo...

i have actually seen a couple around..

on varius sting and spirit models
do you have those in the uk?

the last owner had changed the backdoor to a spirit type..
maybe it came with that?

i guess i would be sweeter with some paint, it`s getting kind of faded :cry:

Certain items are more popular in some markets, so 'redistributing' them is only fair :)
