Not right now dude :) that buggy has won loads of shows and Bug in GB twice... He's had it since he was 17, used to have a formula V motor running nitrous but its all calmed down now. The beetles a genuine karman californian import and the shell on the right is his next project drag car. I can get pics sometime but can't get on the computer right now :) I knew that the air cooled would attract more attention than mine!! But dubs run in the blood for our family! Even if they don't use them everyday like me ;)

:drool: anymore of the aircooled? :shock:

At least make an effort to comment on his actual car!

Anyway

Looks sweet mate, those polished porka rims looks awesome! Set if off nicely :thumbsup:

:lol: he knows it looks good 8-), just out of curiosity did you polish em up yourself dude? they look really good

Nice to see it runs in the family as well :-( wish my family shared my enthusiasm for dubs

Haha, thanks dude! No I didn't I'm afraid, they were done already but I got them for a crazy price! I think they really look the part. They're coming off soon, they're unlaquered so they will get wrecked in the salt! So I've got some mini cooper wheels for it. I'm really not sure what to do next to be honest! Space out?

looking good dude id say space the rears out 15-20mm and try and get the front down a touch everything else is awesome!!

Yeah I want to mate, it was a lot lower than that but it had its MOT and its soon to go on winter wheels so no point in adjusting it properly :) glad you all like it though! :D

So I'm going to try and get to Action this weekend, so thought I would take the GTI badges off and replace them with an ABT tuning one. Much subtler in my opinion. However I've decided to do some crazy shi*t to the wingmirrors. I quite like them, just because they're differant. Also wound down on the front slightly, what dya think. As always, + and - comments welcome :)

:thumbsup:

Looks alot better without the GTI badge, looked like there was too much going on in the grill before.

Also, isnt there 8J versions of these wheels? Try sourcing some for the rear to polish off the stance 8-)

  • Author

Cheers dude, yeah there is they're staggered. Very rare and very expensive! If some come up at the right price then I'll grab em, but I'm a student on part time wages so can't really afford it. Hence all the small, cheap mods which I think make a huge differance! :)

Thanks for the :thumbsup: though! ;)

  • Author

Haha, Just realised. Pun intended? *Polish off the stance* ? ;)

There wasnt... But I'm just naturally hilarious :D

loose the Abt badge....has no significance.

  • Author

:mmmmm nah!

lol i was about to say get rid of the GTi badge!

Sometimes i miss my standard headlamps. Those porsche rims look real sweet mate, i take back what i said about the rotas :lol:

i usually hate chequered stuff, but them mirrors are pretty cool. :-)

Haha, just rang my dad. We're going to action at the weekend in show & shine. He said he wouldn't come with me unless I took the checkers off the wingmirrors! Got to listen to him I guess, with him winning Bug in GB twice :( Vwdubs running in the blood is all well and good, but I can't argue with that...! :p

I had some real carbon fibre sheeting kicking about and thought what the hell, give it a go...

I quite like it for the moment but it's all reversable so when I get fed up it can go back to stock!
