OT Cabby/Topless Bunny



The occasional post about Rabbit converibles and Cabriolets has got me
wondering...
What is the difference?
Chassis?
Just badging?
I know the cabby is included with the MK2 Scirocco in the bently so still A1
on both?  I see afew around here and I am allways wondering how to spot
them.
Just curious.
