Thank you for your comment To answer the questions : - The cap with louvers is not to sell because I exchanged it against an origin... - Little welding to be made, the base was rather healthy. Work but it is necessary well that I occupy myself this winter

all the grey vw colors look great on a cal-looker, and with erco's would look very cool,
but i always think an early car looks good in green, for me the green vw shades suit the beetle really really well.
if i was you i'd avoid the more common greens like jungle or pastel green.......sargasso green is one color i've rarely seen but looks fantastic.

Grays always look good but I think the brown in the upper pic posted by speedwell would really look nice.

The difficulty it is that I hesitate between the gray and the brown  I will see colors them interior to match the whole  "it is easier to find the car than to choose the color" = small thought of the day |

That depends Juju... some cars "speak" a certain color, others can go several ways.
Just remember that whatever you choose, you'll be able to make it work.

i don't know just whenthe picture was taken there wasn't any oil in the engine & in the gearbox and no fuel in the tank And also back shock absorbers are white koni and they have never worked because the car has never driven  |

so you mean you need to let the car wear in a bit?
never seen white konis before, are they that tough? i know that my back is 3cm higher with my coil over shocks... with 165 tyres i have positive camber.

ok, i'll be installing my grey KYBs next week after exams... i hope they suit my 165 f560 tyres nicely. coil overs where a bit too high and besides my brother needed them for his resto-looker as he had some clearance issues: back on-topic |

didn't know you were asking for opinion ju wouldn't be my choice of colour, i dislike brown... a bit too dirty for me. i know what i'd choose if i'd build a real looker, it would either be white or white with a tad of yellow in it. good luck on the struggle i presume it's probably the most difficult and decisive part of the process... |

Indeed the choice of the color is the most difficult part, the part which has the most importance in the success of a project. The cleaning part does not import me it is only one car for the week end, I want that the color old face and that it is different from all what there are the practice to see. Thank you for your opinions, of another comment? |
