Looks great , I think high command should issue an order to fit armoured spats over the wheels.

I got it from Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GERMAN-VW-CAM ... Swal5YFiuB For that price I thought it worth just having some fun :D And thank you, I wanted the shield to look really worn, almost like it came off something else.
