the new beetle is not immune from stupid 3rd party marketeers
is it just me or do other people also this sort of thing devaules both the car and the product...
and whats with this car, horn grills, chrome trim on one headlight, diff wheelmounting front and rear?? just as well i'm not partial to NBs otherwise i'd really be upset.

I don't really see a problem with it all.
At least they are using VWs in a fun way, trying to tap into the marketing of them as a 'fun' machine rather than just use a panel van type vehicle with magnetic stickers etc.
Not sure about mixing old fetaures with the new beetle, but at least its a VW 😀.
'Ah, whatever................'
that's owned by one of the parents from geelong grammar school.
they used to always come to our school events in those cars and give out free stuff. was pretty random really...

theres one of them seemingly ALLWAYS in the panel shop near me..... not to mention the two that were at the shootout last yr.......
speaking of which where is Spiro?
If someone paid me $20,000 dollar to paint my splitty in them colours and have a can strapped to the top I wouldn't say no.
Anyone see the Red Stripe Splitty in Volks World
it's cool, plus the chicky babes that get out of them to give out freebies are usually easy on the eye 😉
They came to one of our cruises a while back and we all stayed awake for day's after that !!:duh

One of my uni friends is a red bull girl. She drives one of those every so often.
Oh yeah,
saw that red stripe bus last magazine. Looks very sweet.
Thats what I was trying to say, at least people are using VWs for their marketing pull.
'Ah, whatever................'
They have been doing it for years. They always will.
Look at sign writing on old panels...
I don't always like it on NB's as they are a little demoralising, and then how is the car going to be taken seriously?
THE LOWEST WITH THE MOSTEST BLING BLING WINS!!
Ege,
lucky bugger!!!

the guy driving it was pretty dishy though, so i waved back 😀
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
I liked the mixture of old and new, I think the new beetles need more of it.

The Red Bull girls like Costa's Beetle and I think he might like them 🙂
I always see the Red bull beetles.
I saw a modified Red Bull New Mini Ute in the city the other night with 2 girls driving. They saw our new beetle and screemed out and waved. lol My g/f wasnt to impressed :P
I dont see anything wrong with the redbull beetles. Who cares what car a company uses. I reckon it looks quiet funky. I dont know about the odd things like the headlight chrome ring. But the Redbull can on the back and the colours suit that type of car.
i like it, if I remember correctly the first ones done a few years had a few nice mods, like a built in fridge in the back and the rear and side windows, were hinged at the top and lifted up to get access. I like the mini aswell. hey its working look at all of us a talking about them.
I think we had them at a show a little while ago, easy on the eye.....
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!
Thats not costa, its Spiro, his handsome second cousin haha
Seen the red bull up here in Brisbane and there a couple of others also getting around
Let me out, When I call my name
IGOR is ALIVE !!!! 😎
I think he's got a good point - I would never paint up a VW and use it for promotional purposes.
By the way...here's my kombi! he he
:P
where's the mickey mouse mannequin riding the fake longboard down a fake wave on the roof:duh

Its not just Redbull that have these.
Westpac also have new beetles.
And i work for a vehicle transport company and i see so many come through for smaller companies.
Theres another company that has alot of them *M.K Signiture* Its a make up or nutrametics company. i see about 3 different ones come through my work every week. They are all a Pink colour. hehe
no matter what the ads about they all bring one thing
into the limelight & that has to be a good thing VW'S.
be it bus or bug why because naturally vw's stand out
local radio station i98 has 2 of them now. upgraded from suzuki vitaras I think. The girls arent anything special... not that I wouldnt mind seeing them naked... they just arent miss universe.

That's Mary Kaye (sp) make up I think.
Part of Melbourne's Unreal Aircooled VW Community
yeah, one of them around here too.
Wonder what it costs to buy a new car and drive it straight to the spray booth.
Chris.... kombi pilot, oval dreamer... finisher #26971 2005 city to surf
Yep thats the company.
The car (i think) was origanally silver.
Cause the inner doors (interior)are still silver.
When they get a fair few done i would assume they would get a contract to spray them and get it done pritty cheap.
pInk bathroom services also have pink new beetles aswell. different pink though
