Wickid ride man. You have done more or less exactly what im doing to mine. I smoothed my fenders also, have a set of golf side repeaters also, but chose to settle on uno side repeaters for the front and use the golf on the sides. Awsome ride. Enjoy it.

Sup mate. I trial fitted the Rims i May use on my bug, when i get the adapters made, and damn is there a big gap between fender and tyre! 195.50.R15s.
So where did you do your adjusters and how much do i gotta rob a bank for?
