I have built this beetle long time ago. This is the first time I cut the beetle and is a very rush job.:rolleyes: I build this kit in about...2weeks time (because my deadline is my sister birthday). :rolleyes: Hope you like it.

Well nicely done. Those caps or eye brows on the head lights make it look so cute and real :)
Like one of those OIL comercials with beetles :)

That thing is disturbing! Has the terrible look of a Volkswagon and the rear deck lid of a Ferarri. Don't ever combine the two!

Report that post to a moderator for poor taste!

noob is under your nick. I think you dont like bug. Nothing is from any car (ferrari!?), is my own concept, if you don't like it...is ok. different people had different taste, I don't mind. I do love it....:D :finger:

RTuned -

Thanks for allowing my opinion and not flipping me the finger. You building skills are great I just didnt enjoy your choice of car.

Regarding the rear trunk lid - it does resemble a Ferrari 360 Modena Spyders rear deck.

See the picture.

Great job on it, it's really nice, but I'd put bigger rims, maybe 18's, but it's very good :)

", but I'd put bigger rims, maybe 18's, "
Ditto.

Btw, it's a great idea and you did a marvelous job on the new-beetle.
Applaus!!!

Looks well put together, the "eye-lids" looks cool, and different. Looks like good work to me!

Classy beetle eye look :) The overall is just like a concept. True like what you had said, different people have different taste. I would also like to bring out that you are brave enough to make this kit and good news is that your beetle is well made ;)

thanks for everyone.
kadler18... you are right, but really, when I did this I did not go with any reference. Just remeber that the Porsche 356 look, I do remember there was a VW share the same project with Porsche by doing a 356 project. the body is totall the same but only the embler and engine are different. I want to do almost like the 356 Roadster but with some new ideas, that's all. :rolleyes:

I need a 19in for the beetle...18in is the same as the original beetle rim.:D but....I don't have any....:(
