Spotted this bug the other day in Cardiff, it belongs to Emma, shes from just down the road from me, she was called Bugbabe on CC, not sure if any of you remember her from CC, she was on there in the good old days, a pretty nice bug me thinks! Photos taken on my fone, so sorry bout the quality! :D :D

There is actually a photo of it on the CC front page next to the Forum link, which is my photo, which they never asked they could use...but there you go lol

Does the rear wotsit make the bumper lower?

Not by that much i dont think, if you look where the rear foglight and reversing light are they are at the same level as standard, so i dont think it makes it that much lower :D :D God this car brings back memories lol

welll, and here she is! ;D

Thanks for all the good comments guys, just what I need at the moment as the 'novelty' is starting to wear off at times seeing as I have had her like that for 5 years and I keep wanting to change her. Then peopel comment me and I'm like 'awwww, I cant!, shes my pride and joy!' :'(

The back bumper isnt much lower than standard, the front is and is a nightmare. I have to kow where I'm going and can only use one multistorey in Cardiff - one think I have to say bout that kit thought (and apparently all the wings west kits) is that their made out of this special material, dont know twhat its called, but it flex's when caught. Have had her 5 years now and been caught in some sticky situations where its been 'well I have to get through there wether the bumper comes off or not' and not one breakage until last week, where there is a small crack that I blame the bf for doing ;)

Sorry about the dirt - I'm a disgrace to all beetle owners I know :-[
