First the Bug was restored and build more stock. But I´ve visited more and more Shows and read as much Dub-magazines as I could. So I decided it has to belowered. Nearly every winterseason I changed the wheels. ...I have a quirk for wheels and steering wheels.  Here are some Pics: |

Nice bug, the gold wheels look great with that light blue, also a big fan of gasburners i think a set in flat dark grey would look great with that colour too.

Thanks, at the Moment I like the Sprint Stars the most. But I´m thinking about detailed 16" Fuchs with 6 & 7" width. May I play with a set of chromed steelies.  I´m not sure about the lowering in the back. It was done by a friend and I think it`s one outer spline. THe plan for this winter is to Change the rear lights and Change the antenna. I like the old split antennas in the Center of the windshield... |

Just a small update: I picked up a front Hood from an Oval Bug for cheap. The plan is to weld up the trim holes and to make it ready for paint. I´d like to change the front Hood cause my Bug has no side trim. It`s a little more cal look.  I hope next week I can spend so more time in the Garage...  |

I tried the chromed steelies yesterday. I have two 4,5x15" at the front and two 5,5x15" at the rear. But after installing them I didn´t like it.  I thought I would look great, but I prefer the Empi`s... (the 4,5" are Lemmerz stamped 11/57) |

Today I tried some new wheels on my Bug...again.  These are centerline copies made bei American Racing Wheels (AEW). Size is 5,5"x15". At the moment the tires are 185/55-15 in front and 195/65-15 at the back. I´m not sure if they suit my car. What´s your thought? |

The fake centerlinest really suit it - a definite mid 80's look to it!

I had this Hirschmann Redtip Antenna laying around for quite a while.
And with just some days ahead of Hessisch Oldendorf I thought I´d give it a try.
The old antenna was put in the Garage and I had to drill two holes.
But I really like the result.

Wheels again.... I didn´t like the look of the polished BRM-Repros I got. Hence I tried sprayfoil in gold but again I dislike the look. Time to sell them. The Sprint Stars are still the best at the moment in my opinion. Tobi |

...stay home and work on your VW... At the moment I'm trying to mount the correct taillights in my Bug. Way better than the newer ones. |

I don't know if it's just the camera angle, but it does look like the new (correct!) taillights point outwards. They've not been cut for a buggy, have they?

Yes, from this pic it looks like the taillights point outwards, but I hope I´ve positioned them correct.
I`ll upload a better picture soon. Then the taillights are painted to match the blue.

So I hope the taillight-position is ok.
I tried some new wheels as well.
The centercolor could be a bit darker...what do you think?
