Spotted this at Red's Xmas Party in December.
One butt ugly bug!
You'd think they would have at least had the sence to spray some black paint up inside those cannon style lakes pipes that go nowhere to at least lok like some gasses might have passed thru them at some stage.
The most laughable bit was the "chequer plate" seat covers!
The bastard son of rat dub and rice...
it may be rice, but its still a bug, i don't think it looks too bad, better than the boggy/rusty/faded paint effect that Bertie has going.
i woulda put the lakes pipes on the other way round and actually connected them to the engine....
i reckon a few people would be scratchin' their heads over that one!!!
kai
ive seen those side pipes on otehr cars i reckon they look pretty sweet... i think hes trying for the lead sled i-wannabe-a-49-mercury look.
but checkerplate? eeeew!
A selection of pics of the cool cars from the day are here:

real, not plastic! Chrome, chrome and more chrome.
popes nose on the rear end, torana tail lights, checkerboard supercheap auto special seat covers
It's sad to see someone put a lot of hard work into a car and get it all wrong.
Beach Buggy
74 L Beetle
Mk4 Golf
I like it too.:P
THe MC Bat Commander's motto: "Never do now, what you could do for 24 hours straight, all night, the night before."
If it came down to it, I'd rather see that driving around than another bloody Hyundai...
I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....
Close with the Torana tail light. They are HJ-Z lights. Definitley looks like a vehicle trying desperatley to be in the rod and also the ricer crews. A double agent

The only excuse I can offer is that they were only kids... hopefullythey will acquire some change of tastes and sensibilities by going to these events.
individuality :blush

I like it.
Perhaps the pipes that don't do anything are a bit over the top, but otherwise I think it looks pretty tough.
It is a typical look a young person would aim for.
Comments like: "A lot of hard work to get it all wrong" really piss me off. This is someones pride and joy, don't slag it off. It may not be your cup of tea but find something positive to say or don't say anything at all.
REMEMBER - EACH TO THEIR OWN!!!!

GO MANLY!!
Geez - don't be afraid to say what you really think......
I'd be so totally deflated and upset if I found you talking about my car like that. What ever happened to "if you haven't got anything nice to say......."
It may not be your cup of tea but find something positive to say or don't say anything at all.
I'll say it again. It is bloody ugly. There has been little hard work or creativity. It is cheap slap on mods that make the volkswagen scene a laughing stock.
volkswagen scene a laughing stock.
---- > Oh my god.
Bloody ugly to you is someone elses pride and joy.
That's all I'm saying.
Wait until you see my kombi - I'm more then bloody doing my bit to make you bloody volkswagen owners laughing stocks.
GO MANLY!!
This is a forum for people to express their opinions.
I think it's ugly too and it gives VW's a bad name.... and thats MY opinion.
its just plain FUGLY :thumb

https://www.facebook.com/FlatFour"Makes the VW scene a laughing stock" and "Gives VW's a bad name"
Are you serious?? Do you really think that people would look at (what you call) an ugly beetle and equate that to the ENTIRE VW scene???
They are two of the stupidest comments I've heard - and that's MY opinion....
Yes it does give the whole scene a bad name. When these things are taken to shows and shown as being a dub of quality then those who haven't seen better have nothing to compare.
Even the ricers were laughing at it. And justifiably!
all in favour of building a brisge and moving on!!!!

OK.. Someone has had a spasm of creative flair and done something seriously wrong in the eyes of the so called "purists".. Personally Lake pipes don't offend me.. Probably better if they were connected to something.. Next time we see a bug with an outrageous spoiler or over the top rear wing in a stock 12 or 1300 are we going to be so offended?..
You baggers are all a bit precious.. Go and have a hard look at yourselves!:P
I must admit.. Year ago I went for a circuit spin in the passenger seat of a notch mustang (about 70's vintage).. It had lake pipes attached off a seriously worked V8.. The V8 boys have something special to play with.. Jealous.. Yes!
