Sweet mother of good. :eek:

Almost as bad as a Ferrari MR2.

Actually saw a MR2 ''Ferrari'' today in Sligo. It did look the part :eek:

There was a Beetle with Whale Tail going round in early 90's. At the time I thought it was the bees knees, but then again I was 10 or 11

You can just imagine how much rot and steel cancer in going on under that kit

omg so bad

The weight of those kits is unbelievable - even though they're fibreglass they're seriously heavy and the Beetle isn't that powerful to begin with

I'm sure the corrosion underneath will offset the weight of the fillers.

that is horrible !! even worse than years ago i remember every 3rd bettle where i lived having the 53 and stripes like "herbie" even a brown rust bucket i can remember ............... so i guess car styling hasnt changed much

The real deal (by Oettinger) in the VW museum doesn't look much better actually

Just in the door and saw a 97 old shape beetle.

It was RHD too. Needed some TLC.

If he took some of the "wicked" bodykit off, it'd probably

sell better. Horrible thing to do to a car.

Bearcat

so we wrap these howlers in some plastic sheeting to resemble a 911 or a ferrari and then to say they look the part? they look hideous and to see a hairy chested mutt driving around in an mr2 pimping it as some type of ferrari deserves total derision.

the bit that scares me is

"no nct neededas its a classic"

which translated means, its a deathtrap, best of luck.
