I find that strangely appealing. Excellent work.

I find it more than strangely appealing. I find it VERY appealing! I've never liked those NBs before but I would rock that every day and twice on a Sunday! Minus the tat of course, although the rear wheel could stay ;->
What was the order of play for lifting that?

For anyone thats had one of these, which is the best compromise engine-wise other than a 1.8T? I'm assuming the 1.4 is a waste of time which leaves the 1.6 and the 2.0. I'd probably avoid the TDI as they'd be more expensive. |

ill have to ask edd for ye find out later 2litres are mental to fuel , The 2.0 isn't too bad on juice, I used to get low 30's out of mine. 1.6's have issues with the rings going prematurely on them, early signs being the throttle body fails. I'd try and get a 2.3 or a 1.8t, although they do have dual mass flywheels |

Buy a 1.9tdi or 1.8t. Avoid the 2l petrol. Its awful.

I'd had a look at raising the New Beetle a little while ago when a TDI became available for cheap. Looks good (apart from the roof thingy).

I like it, but it's definitely had suspension work of some description!
Check out the difference in wheel centre to sill end height; that's been lifted by 2-3"
