iv had a go on bug-selecta!!! what u guys think.... this is EXACTLY how i want my beetle to turn out!!! omfg i didnt kno how awesoem the program was 😀
Rims, Disks, 5 Stud conversions, Exhust, lowerd...engine n that also, but that comes after the outside!!! i really cant stop looking at it .... this is EXACTLY how i wanted it !!! im in so much love
haha omg that looks so awesome! thats exactly what i want, but with 2 differences;
1. the rims would be just silver, or polished so make it shiny 😀
2. id lower it to how its like in my pic, casue i love beetles @ that hight 😀
also, iv always wonderd, how are the roof racs attached to the car? are they bolted in? as in, is drilling the holes required? or is it some other kind of system?
ALSO!!! how much and were from did u get those rims and roof racks 😉
The roof rack i got from a forum member on here but you can get them from george at classic veedub, no you dont drill holes in the roof they sit in your rain gutters and clamp to the gutters.The rims i got from richard a vforce racing second hand but you can get them from george also,they come silver or polished.My beetle has a adjustable beam and thats as low i want to go without any dramas to go lower you would want drop spindles and if i was you a narrowed beam if you dont i think you will have dramas with your gaurds rubbing cheers shane.
ahhh sweet as!!! and yup i kno i need a narrowed beam 😀
this is my rough estimate for the both of those designs...
1st design...
Lowerd+narrowed Beam ~$400
Drop Spindals ~$150
5 Stud Conversion (Blank Hub Drilled) ~ $200 each(i think) so $800
Porsche Cup 3's Twist ~$1500-2000
New Disks Breaks all round(mebbe even porsche breaks) ~$1700-2000
Exhaust ~$350
______________________________
Total ~$4900 - 5700

VS
Lowerd+narrowed Beam ~$400
Drop Spindals ~$150
Exhaust ~$350
Type 3 Drums ~$250?
Emip 8's ~$1120(new) or ~$500 used
Roof Racks ~$250
Antena ~$100

Total ~$2000 - 2620

So out of those rough estimations, the 2nd design is ALOT cheaper!!! so i think for now this might be the path i take! considering i dont have a full time job!
But i would love to see my first design also.... heck, who knows!! i might even do My sisters beetle as Design #1, or buy another '69...
Augh... if i had money, it would prolly already be done! but since im short i think design #2 is the way for me to go ATM... but i wont be doing this for a long time, so really, only time will tell!! and many sleeps to think about it on!!
according to my calculations *adjusts glasses* Mini Cooper S's have the same Stud Pattern and Offset as our good old beetles!?!?!
Size 16x6.5jj
Pcd 4x100
Offset +45
Tyres Goodyear Run Flat 195/55/16
WELL!!! this had got me thinking. instead of Empi 8's. what about Those mini cooper S rims, that looks similar? but are just a bit fatter! and have a wider rim @ 6.5"
hate to disappoint you mate but 4 stud bugs are 4x 130. they would look fat though. it is do able though. the best way is to buy blank discs and drums and drill them to the patten you want. this is about $800 for a full set.
