what do you guys think if I change the wheels from ronal to 4,5s and deep 6 fuchs wheels? That´s my plan for the next time.  I think your car looks killer like that! don't change a thing! what's the front tire size btw? thanks. but I like the fuchs more than ever wheels. I think of it and I will see what the time brings. The front tires are 185/55 but I will change soon to 155/60. |

Really like this! The Ronals look awesome in my opinion and are a refreshing change from the norm. |

Ronal was my first wheels choice. I still have them, but in very bad shape  I like them really well, but offset was a big problems. Even with 135/15 front tires I had rubbing issues!  |

I'll find some other photos later, but this is on the works pc The second picture is when it was fridge white, god knows why I painted it such a plain colour  Matt Sanchez's is just behind it, also bit depressed at how old that picture is  |

With slightly bigger rear tyres and those Ronals detailed and that would look spot on! |

He seems to have owned it a long time too:  Hello ! my name is Cyril from south of France and iam the owner of this car since 1997 ! If you have any question about my '73,5 ! it's time ;o) |

For some strange reason... solid (non-vented) decklids, to me, have always looked good on '73 & later Type 1 cars. Even when we had Dumper in our club, I thought that looked great. His car doesn't totally count... 'cause it had smaller tail lights, but you get the idea. Niice pic, Nico.
Moderators, can we just simply add a :nicepicNico: emoticon? He always posts quality images on this site.

Good looking car, SuperBat. Nice touch on the wheel center caps, too. Are those bumper guards factory? In the States, we hardly ever see that type.
