I didn't mean anything bad by my comment Arno and I should have explained better, I just don't like 2 tone on Beetle's especially late model ones but thats just my opinion and full credit to you to make the car into something you want.  ;)

I know......One to their own i guess, a style im after and im still learning the whole early.... late beetle thing lol.....give me time..... :P

The wheels tuck nicely under the guards and then you'll have some sweet negative camber on the rear. Get familiar with the term 'pan scraper' and avoid every bump and pebble on the road. As for white walls you can use flappers as a cheap alternative. Some guys here opt for smart car 15" tyres and stripes for a interesting look.

Cheers......I know of u guy that paints white walls on normal tires, uses the proper paint for them.

I like that you've kept the SA AA badge.

DubMan

I like to show off that it is from SA cause it's an odd ball ...lol
I'm doing a glossy light stain to keep it similar looking to the racks you can buy for beetles and kombi's.
