Two words of advice: CHROMED HEADLIGHTS

(Buy chromed spot lights from a Midas near you, and put sealed beams in - it makes all the difference!) Much better than those John Deere rubber lights. :wink:

I'm also a big fan of Beetle tail lights - you don't want your Buggy to look like a Ventertjie from behind, right? :lol:

Have you decided on a colour yet? I've always wanted to build a camouflaged buggy, something like this - I'm sure you'll get the idea :wink: (but then the chrome head lights must go - obviously)

Ja i have already one venter trailer, do not want onother one.

I thinking in the line of metalic silver with lots of glitter in.

How easy is it to change the chrome spots to headlamps with the sealbeams?
