This is how I got her last June, added the wheels and had to raise front suspension 1 spline. She was registered as KFL212G

With the kind help of Dave (The Editor)i got my age related plate from DVLA and put on today, also repainted the front N/S wing (did this last week).

As ever, we're pretty tolerant - I do chop a lot of the Sussex meet photos though - very rarely do they have any Type 3s and 4s there, it seems, and I can see plenty of Campers and Beetles on other forums. I'd probably have just posted a front and back, but at least you do have a Type 3! People on here are very good at self-policing. Thanks everyone!

Right pair of beauties,

have you tried swapping the wheels over?,

Rivieras look great on fastys and the lines on the others (excuse my ignorance but i cant name them!) would go well with the pin stripes on the bug.

Hi Haz

Thanks for the kind comments I am gonna try swapping over at somepoint, I would like to see what the Replica Gas burners would look like on the bug.

Thanks Ozzy, I do like you notch with the Fat lip rivieras, they look great on your car.

All the best

Awesome looking bug very different kind of has a feel of the "Inch Pincher" about it with the striping. Thanks for the pics.

Cheers Mart :D

Thanks Mart

Yep Inspiration came from Inch pincher and the Deno Dyno Saurs bug too. Would love to have been able to do a more florally roof as the roof on Inch Pincher looked absolutley Awesome.

All the best

Hi All

Some piccies of the Fasty on the replica Rivieras. Sorry about shadows.

I need to get some welding done on the offside front wing and then I can replace the sill trim.

The wheels certainly do fill out the arches, I would love the front end to be lower but cannot turn without the tyre rubbing, would love to put a set of Fat Lip Rivieras on one day can get her out of the clouds again then.

Found a new VW script for the decklid recently at a local classic car show with all the fixing pins in place for a Bargain £4. Beetle now sold unfortunately :crybaby:

Thanks for looking
