Both (well 3 if you count Robbie ;) ) back safe and sound - but weird driving so close to the steering wheel and my legs kept hitting the dash ;D

Thanks again for letting me drive Ekky - he drives lovely and you've done a fantastic job on him - you should be proud! :D 8-)

[Shamrockez]

It did look a bit weird! I noticed a few people giving us weird looks! But that's not unusual in Robbie :-/

[PaulD]

coz he's unique not coz he's sad or chavvy or owt ;)

[Shamrockez]

And your bug looks awesome Paul! The stance, wheels and colour are perfect! I bet you're dead chuffed with it!

Got them from Machine 7 - they were a PITA to fit though ::)
They were slightly too deep (poss US spec I suppose) so needed a bit of trimming to fit properly.

[PaulD]

I think that I read somewhere that the clear lens were repro items to match repro chrome units so that's maybe the reason. They do look good though so worth a bit of work to fit them in any case.

It's seats that I need desperately.

specifically the 2 fronts in black basket weave vinyl with the twin tube style runners.

I've got really good back seats but I only have a temporary seat in the front at the moment. *:-?

Could be right - they did look nice though :)

Paul - I really love your wheels! Can I see a close up please? I'd fancy some like this on my bug! :D

found this picture on Google as i haven't got one of mine and no camera today...

same design as the standard wheels but 1" wider and chromed on the front. In the pictures i've got the "baby moon" hubcaps on that came with the bug but i have got a set of correct flat ones if i fancy a change.

got them from Heritage VW the other day. £250 inc vat and delivery but without tyres. Used my existing tyres as they are good ones.

145's on the front an 185's on the back.

:)

[EDIT]

Here you go Vickie here's a better shot off Vzi...same as these:- *;)

they are very shiny!!!! :D

[Vickie]

Wow cool! I've got some 4 stud wheels now with beauty rings on them - just wondered where I get the hubcap bit from :D

[PaulD]

any of the aircooled spares places sell them...

Heritage, Cool Air etc.

there are normally loads on e-Bay as well.

[Vickie]

Thank you!!! Hope you manage to find the seats ur after :D
