Hi lads,
here is my baby. I had around 2 weeks to get my blue beetle ready for the show in Mosney. Here is, with what i was there.



The FlipFlop front with the external oilcooling system



Headlights black inside


Here goes the cool air in


Here the warm air comes out


Leather seats


No back seats, but lot of music


And Eightballs all over

Switches at the dashboard


Valve caps


Door pins


On the top



All that's left is the carpet and getting the seat belts black


Hope you like it. It's total different, but it's also an eye catcher. And it has more power then a little, funny Civic with a poor bodykit

I'm planning on doing it to my Golf. I got quoted 500euro to do just the bumper bits and the handles, none of the lower bits. Apparently they have to sand it down or whatever, get those little bits off the plastic first, then special primer, then paint. I was sickened.:(

If u do it let me know how u get on

I actually did it myself on my Mk3, its well worth doing.

Was just wondering if anyone did it on their passat and what it looked like, dont want it to look a mess if i did it.

Do you have a MK3 or MK4 golf?

Heres how I did my MK3 in case you want to know:

1 X Spray can plastic primer
2 X Spray cans of mixed paint (my motor factor mixes the paint for you, just get the right paint code, he can put it in an aerosol)
1 X Spray can clear laquer.
1 X roll masking tape
Several newspapers


What I did was gave the car a good washing and made sure the bumpers were completely clean.
When it dried fully I masked up the body with newspaper, take your time and do it right, it will pay off.
Spray the laquer evenly and allow to dry, make sure not to get any drips.
Spray the paint nice and evenly, apply a couple of coats, i just used up all the cans.
Laquer it.

It really is that easy and it is definately worth it on a MK3, just take your time at it.



@Tossy, yea I know, I've been thinking about putting the normal lights back on for a while, I've gone off the whole lexus lights thing, I think the normal ones are pretty ugly too though, I mustn't be a real VAG head

U see the problem is u have to sand down the plastic dimple thingy's on the rub strips. Or else u won't get the shine. If u look very closey at urs u'll see what i'm talking about... I just bought wheels now, so i've to get my spoiler sprayed and my grill. Have the Gti lights on already. It's a mk4 btw...

Driving with fog lights on when its not actually foggy is illegal because fog lights are designed to shine through fog so if its not foggy they'll be blinding other road users.

Ya I know, as I said I will have them on sometimes and I will forget they are on.

I see more people drive with foglights on than off tho.

Ah I see what you mean.. I had no prob giving it a go on mine as it was an old MK3, the dimples are in it anyway on all those afaik.

Would you maybe consider getting some good wet and dry sand paper and testing it out on smal area on a hidden part of the bumper, like the underneath? I could see it coming up pretty good if you took your time.

I know you'd be hesitant to try out these things though, obviously its easy to suggest it.

Would you not consider spraying your own spoiler? I did the lip spoiler on my passat and it came out fine.

What wheels did you get if you dont mind me asking?

By the way, nice sig

I was thinking about going ooot to me scrappy and gettin a piece and spraying it.

I'm a bit particular, so i want the colour to be right on the spolier:D I would try it myself, but only sprayed a vintage car before that didn't involve laquer.

Bought the same as these (which i should of had today grrrr.)

Won't know till the morning when i get to attack it. I hope not, spent just over a grand on the car in the last week, did not need this to happen lol...
I put three of the wheels on, as it'll be sitting for a bit. Waiting on the arrival of my unscratched 4th wheel. Will put up a crappy pic as soon as my phone decides to leave me take it lol

If the timebelt snapped i'd say your looking at over 1k to repair the damage, valves bent etc Timbelts should be done 50k regardless, forever telling people :pac:

Just 1 thing. Are those 2 only for drifting? are one ofthem for casual use? I am thinking getting myself Silvia or skyline as soon as i hit 25, but problem is: can they be used every day? or better keep it for weakends and for fun?
