Its going to look bland without them, keep them inc the cab door vw ones. The late spec original plastic wheel trims are a good choice.

Re: About style...
I'd agree with multisi - originality is good
Looks a lot tidier than most, can't be too much work required.?

Not too much work and a quick coat of white primer hides a lot. Yet to find out what colour it is, no sticker and neither pastel or the other VW white...
Originally I was going to replace the wheel arches (on the other side) which have quite a lot of filler in them but decided to spend the money on making the thing fit in the garage instead. Probably best in the long run.

Meh... it's a white van.
VW had some fantastic colours in the 80's.
Go on be adventurous
