I was just wondering how Devonports might look with ‘swamper style’ tyres. I like this look. I’d want to get the wheels powder coated first to compliment my Candy White paint, the gloss black would work well with the gloss black finishing touches.

Can anyone explain to me why when I write D A V E N P O R T S does the post change to DEVONPORTS? If I go in to edit my post thinking I'd typed it wrong it has it correct but if I hit save it changes it?

Hi @davecdjt
Maybe to do with this? (Screenshot from brochure)
Seems you may’ve been misled by a common mistake?

Am I right in thinking they are not Devonport by name but D a v e n p o r t?

 

[Greybeard]

VW call them Devonport.

 

[Greybeard]

Maybe misnomer started from those living in/near Davenport, Stockport?

 

[davecdjt]

VW call them Devonport.

Oh, if that's what they call them then I must be wrong! It is obviously a common mistake to call them Davenport. That error aside, I still can't work out how or why the post changes my original erroneous entry to Devonport?

 

[Skyliner33]

The correct name is DEVONPORT.

 

[Greybeard]

Me neither, but hopefully an admin may happen along shortly?!?

Wow looks awesome, suspension looks higher than standard but I guess it must be down to wheels / appearance
