It's soon gonna be time to paint the 67 beetle, better late than never I suppose.
There have been mad thoughts in my head about turning this into some sort of retro german (or aussie) police car.
Maybe even highway patrol if I can get away with it.
Should be a scream at car shows if I do it right.
Who wants to design it ? I'll give the winner full credit or if nobody has any ideas, I'll do it myself.
Need colour suggestions, white? or black, blue???
A real german one is green and white but looks a bit ho hum.
I want this to look fully sick maaate.
Warb is the sticker man who will have to make it happen
but a final design needs to be decided.

Nice work...thought about doing my notch like the rat patrol beetle.
good luck
Sax there is no option... you have to do Polizei Deutche!!!
The Green and White would pick up any chrome bits perfectly and it would be so unique that people would go nuts.
Garn mate, it's gotta be done.
Would have to use a nice deep british racing green, the real polizei is a brighter colour? German is the go I agree.
Deutchland uber alles.
" You're not a team player "
and you wont in in trouble "impersonating a police vehicle"
yeah as much as i would love to design up a sheriff car like that rat rod for you i, think theres heaps of refferance of the german cop cars to get started straight away ,go for it

i love this baby
show us your gates
man that aussie cop car looks so boring once you spot those pics
show us your gates
REFLECTIVE green, Polizei 😉
..bad example I know, but the sucker will stand out! ...
i recon german colours with soem black could look right. imagine this with a chequer green/white stripe down the waist
Reimagined/Recycled/Upcycled Cool
hey bus camperkid ,that looks cool all it needs is the siren ,fog lights and its done , Also has your kombi in your avatar progressed further than wats there i allways wonder when i see it post a new pic . i dont even know how to do an avatar ha ha
show us your gates
now we are talking.
I do love the sheriff rod. We need decals and checks as well.
Lights, aerials, fake radar unit....
" You're not a team player "
Think the colours are backward though? Green body, white guards?
?
maybe a taxi.... or has that been done before? cant remember..
busbaycamperkid has almost nailed the look I'm after, low lean, hooligan
machine that will confuse the living hell out of any Sydney cops who see it.
Ive got a set of wide 14 inch steelies ready for paint and very wide rear fibreglass guards.

I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....

I hate to admit it, but man, I think you're right....
perhaps two-tone matt white and BRG Polizei?
That would look nuts - more nuts that sick maaate though - thats a good thing😉
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
A few diecasts of originals. Bit early but some inspiration maybe:
it's a start?
Main thing seems to be green main and white externals

Here you go Sax. Took me alot longer than it should've.
Couldn't help myself with the rims mate! :thumb
I like that, definately the right track now.
Black and white or british racing green?
White guards do it somehow dont they?
" You're not a team player "
Just a thought, if you put an orange light(s) on top the local cops probably wouldn't bust you for having it there.
oh...and not too low, not convincing as a cop car, and besides, you'd have to defect yourself 😀
...
Mexico
perhaps have everything under the chrome strips green, and the roof and bonnet and deck lid white - so then the POLIZEI can be done in a white decal coz I'm pretty sure it supposed to be white on green... my2c..
