Well done Bugger and team on this. You guys surely love what you do and I'm sure the clients drive away with a smile on their faces.

Question or concern I have, the "truck taillights", do they offer any reflection/reflectors, or are you going to have to incorporate some reflectors bar the registration plate?

Would be great to see a flash light reflection, especially on the back.

Looks good! What would the cost be of a build like the orange buggy, or can I contact you via e-mail?

Hi You can contact me by e-mail then we can chat as every client have a different Budget and we work accordingly
But a fresh build from scratch a buggy shell new is about R16K so you can make a few Quick calculations
Cheapest now adays is to buy a running one and Paint and detail them that way as your personal one
that was how we did the Pink one the owner gave us a Budget and we had to work with the Budget and do the job

But lets chat and I can see how we can help you sort one out for you as your own
