This week, we made a reproduction Mk1 Scirocco gauge panel that is no longer in production. These were made at WCR North in the Seattle area. If we can not get parts, we want the next best thing, an original copy. With parts like this, attention to detail was critical before making the mold. We repaired some scratches on the aftermarket original Scirocco gauge panel. Then, we textured it exactly like the original part. After that, we casted the mold.
Considerable amount of time, R&D and detailed work is put into parts like this. The time it takes to make or find a minor part like this. Out goal is to replicate the and/or obtain the original look and finish of our builds.
