Okay so it's not juiced at all, it's on air. Just something i found whilst nosing around pics from Dubshed 2012, here it is before to set the "scene" 16" bbs rs 3 piece alloys 8j offset zero, and air suspension Fair enough, right?  Looks pretty nice. Excuse the wonky plate. So here is the same car at the Dubshed show last week:   With a 70's beetle interior:   The only thing I'd change is (except maybe the colour) I'd do the eyebrows (or are they eyelids) in chrome and maybe add some pinstriping. Gentlemen, start your keyboards. |

Yes! First time I've seen that kind of interior treatment in a New Beetle - works brilliantly.  |

Was just thinking about how the old indicators that sat on top of the front wings might work on this.
Would be cool to do an entire conversion to the old floorpan like the balls'd MK3 - you could narrow the front beam...

That's pretty cool. I'd like to see it in a brown or classic black/burgundy two-tone. I wouldn't have the 'brows and I'd take the indicator adjustments even further and fit a set of bullets like this:  (of course, what I'd actually do is none of the above, because I don't have a Beetle. I'm also sure the owner would have just as many ideas to improve it if it was as simple as typing it on a forum). |

I do like its retrofication
Pinstripe the old beetle front bonnet/boot depressions & add a thin chrome strip down the centre and the lower edge of the running boards.
Chunky silver or chrome tape/film or moldings on the bumpers between bumper indicators would make them less obvious & look like old chrome bumpers
