Nice love the colour! You're pretty fond of doing 'Euro-Look' conversions and again a job well done!

Not really a big fan of arch's on cars but there is no questions about your awesome work.
I can see why it took 4 months with the amount of mods you carried out.
Full credit to your outstanding skills again. :) :cool:

Nice job, I think those wheels are a bit extreme (being so wide).
I wouldn't wanna go over a bump in that, opps there goes the fender :p .

That´s awesome. How did you remove the VW logo?

next time you make a model, would you be able to show the model without paint or primer (just the plastic and your mods)?

Bonjour la France!!

Excellent conversion!!
So far, I've never had the gutts to cut a model in pieces to makes another one. Very good!! Also interesting to see the progress pics on how its made.
The metallizing in the paint is a bit tho thick for my appetite, but that's how it is with real car paint, I guess. I would have used a Testors green mixed with alu or silver with a little black.... or it might just be the pictures.

Wel done!!
