Mitch, we don't actually know that yet -- we know one guy who likes them, but would he really, actually get some?
Looks to me like the dealer ordered them, but is there any evidence that the car sold?

Hey, I wonder if I can get a spinny P- logo crest for my steering wheel, so that when I turn, the crest is always pointed right way up?
Maybe I should petition the factory with my idea.
Oh, and a Ferdinand bobble head dash mascot. To nod approvingly of my driving -- less than extreme though it is.
;-)

Ok, this might be worthy of a new thread!
Perhaps the women who organized the babes of Rennlist calendar could pick this up. Make it a package deal. Calendar for the wall, bobblehead for the dash!
You wanna be careful, though, in that green monster pictured in your avatar -- one fast corner and Old Ferdi' will have a permanent head tilt, like a TV evangelist asking for money.

this reminded me of a funny incident with my brothers girlfriend many years ago. She drove a Mk2 Golf GTi and it had its original alloy wheels, but the centre caps were plastic and the paint had faded and was looking a little flakey. I duly offered to give them a quick lick of paint as I was doing a bit of spraying in my garage that day anyway. The caps in question had a big VW symbol on each one.
So a couple of hours later, the caps were sanded, primed, painted and lacquered and I was putting them back on the car, at which point she said to me... "I don't mean to point fault, and I know that you know what you're doing when it comes to cars, but you've put that one on upside-down" she meant of course that the VW symbol was the wrong way up!
She was deadly serious and it took me a good 5 minutes to stop laughing. Later when she was leaving, just pulling of the drive slowly, I was standing by the car and called for her to stop, "stop Georgie, they are all the wrong way up now!" the car rolled another foot or so... "oh its Ok now, they are all back the right way again... no wait stop! they're all topsy-turyey again... Oh, its Ok now" etc etc.
Never fails to make me chuckle every time I think about it.
