You welcome to make a turn

White? :lol: when the Owner of the Bug from EL was here in GP We went to the paint shop and they mixed colours for us till the owner was happy as he wanted a I vory looking color for the inside and a darker Color on the outer side

You will notice that we did not do the 2 tone the normal way but a bit different and these colors go very well together


Wait tilll you see the pics of the seats I am just keeping them back a bit as a teaser till later :D

Sheez you are right and some Performance Boxes in between and std`s but I am happy with the work

I need to fit front beam adjusters still to the S Bug but just want to let the Upholster finish then It is my turn to let loose on the Bug

Wheels will be std Rostyles Painted in Silver and Black as std VW

That is looking really good man , I like the 2 tone sprayjob . I thought it would look a bit odd due to the age of the beetle but it looks incredible , now I've got some inspiration to do mine !

Bugger is turning into the one-stop do-all shop!!

I've been eyeing this bug since they started. The paint job came out really good for the money the owner is paying. Also the resident upholsterer seems to know his job! He will be doing my SC roof lining as soon as the Bugger'd 'box is back.

Missing link: Performance engine shop!

I've seen this bug in the making. It's a really superb job that's being done! :hangloose: . The colour scheme is brilliant! Your upholsterers are also doing a top-notch job! This is one to be proud of :D
