Welcome to my page. This is the first New Beetle in the UK sitting on 20's.

FRONT:
Parts of the metal work on the front panel had to be cut out to make the smooted Votex front end fit, it took 6 hours straight of trial and error to get the front to look flush. Looks neat though!

IN CAR MULTIMEDIA:
Pioneer-5700 Motorised DVD monitor linked up to two Clarion 5.8 headrest screens. Looks awesome with the roof down at night!

The B-Carz pic is from the 12th November Southend Legal Cruise for the Children In Need Charity. Bug went down an absolute storm with the crowds, a couple of thousand I reckon.


INTERIOR:
The dashboard has been ripped out sprayed in Royal Navy Pearl, (not the tacky stick on shite)...TVA! The colour coding includes grab handle surrounds, steering wheel surrounds, speedo pod, top part of the dash, middle dash and heated seat switch casing. Engine and battery cover have also been colour coded. The bud vase has even been sprayed too!

Custom chrome trim made by me features aluminium heater switches and air vent surrounds, door handle surrounds in chrome, chromed cigarette lighter, chromed switch tips (windows, roof, petrol cap switch and boot switch), custom cut and moulded chrome trim going through the centre and across the top of the dash, from front to back along rear panels and doors, trim along bottom of doors, around the cup holders and centre console and a thin strip in between the rear headrests, chromed steering wheel forks, light and indicator forks and on the seat pulls.

Steering wheel and gear knob are trimmed in black leather, the rear seats are trimmed with magnolia leather as are the front heated sports seats with lumbar support, door panels are also trimmed in magnolia leather and gear gaiter to match with magnolia coloured trim on dash and around the car's interior.

REAR:
At the rear, a custom one off twin exit exhaust made by 2 Xtreme is in full 304 grade stainless steel and sits out underneath the rear bumper. Sounds nuts.

ENGINE:
Under the bonnet is a colour coded rocker cover and battery cover. Will be fitting aeroquip hosing in the future, as well as custom chromed alloy tanks, induction kit and chrome caps!

PAINT:
Royal Navy Pearlesant clear coat.

WHEELS:
The wheels are 7.5x20" DGT 218's (now discontinued) and are wrapped in BF Goodrich G Force rubber bands. Wanna get some TIS 03's next... Mmm...

SUSPENSION:
A pic of the lowered and uprated springs... kept mint underneath too for concours and general cleanlyness.

Everything that has been on this car was modded and fitted by me and my dad who builds race cars (he know's his s**t!).

Let me know what you think of my Bug!
