| I have a pair of zender side skirts fron a series 2 33 if needed? (in fact the ones i have are the exact ones in the above picture with the bumpers), Also i have heard more than once of 75 Veloce front bumpers being fitted to s3 33's, the modification isn't as hard as you may think (apparently). If you want a decent/new 75 veloce font bumper give my mate Wayne Ellet a ring on 07887-846098. | |

| If the towing hook is missing, it can mean that your car had a frontal collision or that the towing hook was ripped off, while being towed.
I`ve seem 33`s without them, but all had "bad history" of crash damage. As for the VELOCE kits, as far as i know, they were only available in the UK, and there are 2 types, only for series 2. The original and older one was made by ZENDER, was available also in mainland Europe but not as a factory option. This kit was also fitted to series1 cars. 
The other kit was only for Uk buyers and i believe that was made in the Uk. Veloce versions with these kits were ONLY sold in the UK. 
ZENDER also made a kit for series3  |

| I think my P4s had towing eyes in place, welded as John said. | |

| Hi,
The rubber strips are stick on. The tow hook may have been ripped off at some point- it would have been a small hook welded to the front panel finishing almost flush with the hole in the bumper if it had one. I say this as one explanation could be that p4s didn't have one as towing might damage the 4wd???- Paul H can clarify i'm sure. John |

| As I found out a few years ago, the Veloce versions had 2 styles of body kits, as you described there is the Zender kit and the deeper 75 style kit, it was exclusive to the series 2 not the series 3 but a company called Lester do a deep bumper kit for the S3 which looks quite good.

Been looking and still learning, it seems early cars had zender kit on the veloce model and later one's had or what is called Velcose bumpers (like the 75) is that correct, was thinking about Veloce for my P4 and now have loads of questions after looking at google 
On my S3 p4 (is that right S3 or is it S2) It has rubber strips on doors, would they just be removed to look like an S2 ? (stuck on or not) Was the Veloce kit ever on a S3 car from new, is it easy to fit? and why has my front bumper got a hole for tow hook and no tow hook? |
