Re: My Daughters ride
You can try Volkspares Pretoria for the harnas(Loom). Saw they did some beetles there not too long ago. Looked good to me with the correct color-codes. Price probably expensive?

Re: My Daughters ride
Blue with white is nice, but it gets very dirty very quickly. I do like it though.
For practicality, I'd put in a darker interior with a light roof lining just to keep things looking clean. Go with the original colour again or close to it, it is a nice colour and very close to the blue you posted above.

Re: My Daughters ride
In 1978 VWSA introduced a slightly different blue colour, which replaced the plain light blue used until then. Looked like a little bit of light grey was added. Looked nearly like your last picture.
They called it "Glacier Blue". Like this:
Then around mid-80's they changed this again to a slightly darker light blue/grey.
Maybe still a little bit more light grey needs to be added to make the paint look like the picture you posted.

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
