In reply to a message from polestar sent Sun 15 Apr 2007:
Hello again,
Thank you for all your responses to my inquiry!
I am quite pleased that this community does answer promptly and is
so friendly. My weekend was rather busy�
You all have more than answered my questions and concern.
This is all a bit new to me as I have never taken part in such a
forum before. Bought the car over Christmas. Then, my wife said she
likes the way the front end of her brother-in-law�s Series I
looks, �more like a racing car�. They live in Denmark. He was the
one who told me of �kit guy� rumoured to be in Germany.
It is a bit disappointing that people like Jerry and Lynn seem to
think I am some sort of spy or something. Sorry, but I am not a
car buff like most of you seem to be with my 42 years on the
planet. Just wanted to invest in a classic car that would increase
in its value over the years. And, make my wife happy.
And, no, I am not related to Mr. Wahl in any way. There was a link
to his webpage here in one of the entries about headlight covers or
so and I just put two and two together that he must be the �kit
guy�. There does not seem to be anyone else in Germany who
manufactures such a kit� or is there? I then had the man on the
phone and tried to understand about the �Best Buy� kit with the
polished lenses compared to the standard kit. Told him that I came
across him through a family member in Denmark, doing a google
search and doing research in the forum. He told me of a recent
misunderstanding with regard to the installation process regarding
a Series 1.5. The bonnet having to be cut and such and that this
would not be necessary in my case. My mechanic here in Stuttgart
will install it when it arrives. It should be here this week I
hope. Like I said, I am not as well versed as you gents seem to be.
My background is half British and half German. I live in Stuttgart
with my German wife. Therefore, I guess I can understand the
cultural differences and language barriers better than most.
Not sure if I will �hang around� as several of you have kindly put
it.
I can now see how negative rumours get started here and it really
does not make a good impression on me as someone new here � who is
also shy and not well-versed on the topic at hand.
Thank you anyway for all the positive feedback!
Cheers,
Charles–
