before i had the seats trimmed in dead cow (leather) they were the same colour as the paint, was well cool but a total git to keep clean. was a special limited edition colour, they also did one in cameo blue. i do miss that bug.

oh hell yes, its awesome. well by the time i would have paid for transfering the plate and the taxes it was going to cost more than the plate its self. so just decided to let it go. shame really.

i thought i would finally get started on the front bumper of the bug, and don't worry i am not going for a harlequin polo look.



and so it starts...


meshing out the indicator aperture


needs sanding down now,
