Cool! I like the detail of your car, the stance is perfect, the car is put together very nicely. Any more pics of the car, like the back, side, inside, and engine? Gotta say, your car would be a hit here in the states. Thats for sure!

What is up on the early door window size and quarter windows and late model rear window, rear deck lid and fenders? Are these Brazilian or Mexican bugs?

Check this out: http://shop.volkswarenhaus.de/index.php/cat/c875_Scheinwerfer-ab-8-73.html

Those are VW Golf I headlights with cross.
They look cool on a late model beetle, but in combination with overall styling. Cool

its a mexican built car which ran 68 to 72 model window sizes (please correct if i'm wrong) but later rear wings with the big rear lights also front wings had the indercator light in the front bumper

Pretty snappy headlights too!  Shocked

The car was subject to a rebuild by myself in over a 5 year period which is why its pretty clean. my dad is also into classic cars has been since i was born so keeping them clean has been part of growning up  Grin
haedlights are as Doktor says from a mk1 golf with the black cross behind the glass.

 

with my dads car (1955 Alvis 3litre)


and just because everyone loves a burnout
