The British VW mags advertise a split nose for Bay busses. I think that this is just sad. Who would hate their Bay enough to buy one of these? If they want a Splitty, the could just buy a Splitty. Even if they put a different nose they will still have that ugly soft plastic dashboard. What is that made of, nougat?

The web design sucks. But read near the bottom. They've apparently bought the moulds for the fiberglass "baysplit" front clip conversion panel. It just "glues" on the front I think.
Yuck.

You know, there should be someone in our group smart enough to design an
insert that you could weld into the windshield frame of a bay window
thereby converting them to a split. Kind of like converting an oval window
rear window to a split. Now there's a thought.
