SP Beetle on Neckbreakerz

Pretty cool methinks, not so much a fan of the watercooled motor in an SP but ticks the right boxes elsewhere :hangloose:

nice car but that engine ruins it completely.
It doesnt fit so they raised the bootlid to such a point that it looks stupid, then you cannot open the bootlid because the engine is still in the way.

Nice car, but ruined by the engine....

Did not have the funds to rebuild the original engine but had enough cash for a POS sound system and a shitty golf conversion???? and then a turbo???? these guys make me sick...

BUT, thanks to {insert appropriate term here} like those guys, I can pick up spares for SP's and upgrades for Puma's...

I'm more worried about the tyres that are too narrow for the rims......
Apart from the eyelids, louvre, engine, tyres & stickers on headlights, its a lovely car...

I went a bit euro style and had a stretched tyre rim combo on my Seat and it was no different to any other setup I ran before & since, just looks cooler..

I remember when I was still in school... our schoolbus had it's rear tyres "stretched".... (but not to look sick, ill or constipated) and the tyre came off the beading....
