You getting bumper inlays?
Where?

Here is a fast mock up I did with the wheels painted yellow. I think the car looks great as it is, the inserts give a nice offset even without being painted. It would be sick if you got the inserts covered in a carbon fiber film, or even have them duplicated as carbon fiber.

great idea, thanks! really like it :agree:
yes, I have led tail lights, they are custom made but they looks smart in dark. The whole light is red when it's on. When breaking, the center is brighter, if i use the turn signal the upper quarter changes between light red and yellow. I'll do some pics and load them up. thnx again for the idea, really like it.

the front screen is stock, it just seems like a tinted one

are you talking about the c/f "inlays" in the bumper? the man who made the other c/f parts will make it.

excellent job. looks fantastic!!!!

love it, keep up the good work everything works about it especially the colour and the wheels! :cool:

barchetta handles, where can i get me some of thoes ?

In the states I have no idea. In europe it's not so complicated. Mines were brand new in box, bought them from a FIAT dealer.

just got the c/f bumper inlays, I'll take pics soon :cool:

Engine???

Hey Bogara!

Thanks - yes - you helped me a lot.:agree:

Actually I´m looking forward to a porsche fan - 5 or 11 arms and I´d like to implant it into my bus *gg*

How did you fix the fan on the inside?

Yours

That is a really cool car. I like it a lot. You have a lot of good ideas.

Gorgeous car! Nice detailed work, too! :agree: :agree:

Shes a beauty!!!! Great job!!:agree:

Where you get the inlays?

they were made especially for this car. As it is not a very complicated thing, I think anybody can prepare it who has some kind of experience with making c/f parts

a little video: going home, after that some nice pfhotos were taken by a VW Magazine ;)

Actually I have a stock 1600 ccm type 1 in the back, because we are (re)building my type IV during this year. After the engine project I'm planning to change the rims and give a more agressive look to the car..we'll see

Very nice car and good looking shots.

Very nice, thanks!

Jason

After the summer, I gave back the 1.6 type1, and continued working on my type4. Actually the block itself is ready with all the goodies inside. I have to install the cooling, the carbs, the ignition, the exhaust and the oil-cooling system..so there are things to do. Here are some specs of the engine:

It will be a 2056 ccm engine for my daily driver

- Stock crankcshaft + polished conrods + lightened flywheel (fully balanced)
- 96 mm AA Pistons
- Porsche 914 heads (Jake Raby 44/36 valves, 9,5:1 compression)
- Jake Raby Super Valvetrain kit (Cam, gear, springs, retainers, keepers, pushrods etc.)
- Willibald manifolds
- bosch el. ignition
- Porsche cooling
- 228 mm Clutch
- B.A.S. Exhaust
- B.A.S. linkage for carbs
- New Weber 44 IDFs
- EARLS AN fittings
- the exhaust doesn't allow me to use my dry-sump pump, so I have to go with the 30mm Schadek :-/

hi
very nice car and in in different level from the start

As the front axles beetles are rariest in gl scene than macpherson ones iam sure you gone end with a top one!

;)

An other big step.. they've arrived yesterday :cool: I hope the gold face will match to the colour of the car..I'm not sure yet (will try them on next week)

I can't see the last 2 pics :(

my bad, sorry. try now;)

I love the LM's. They'll look great on your car. Detail them with a polished lip, and repaint the centers with the BBS gold.

What size are they? Bolt pattern?

Pete

Thanks, yep they definatley need a bit of care..but come on it's just the first day I got them :) I'll repolish the lips but will leave the centres as is since they are genuine BBS gold in an acceptable condition. (if the colour will match with the car).

I was looking for a non staggered set for a while, all of them are 7,5x17 ET38 (offset), 5x112 with 57,1 centre bore so made for VW, AUDI, Mercedes whatever..

Brake upgrade required, but trying to finish the engine first of all..

Hi,

some progress with the wheels: I was very disappointed that the original BBS gold didn't match the car at all..so I have decided to refurb the wheels and give them a custom paint job. Barrels got polished lips, centres became grey (with gold effect, very cool in sunshine) and still confused about the colour of the bolts.

Actually this is the only picture uploaded, but more than nothing. You can see the BBS logo stamped in the wheel kept it's original colour, it looks sweet IMO. More pics to come

http://img.carstyling.hu/usercars/00...1275384789.jpg

Those should look sweet on the car. I would go with black lug bolts.

wow! progressing...day to day, congratulations!
