We got her (but it's a he??)

Yesterday we finally picked up our 71 1300 beetle (yes, the one I have been bugging you all with my questions over the last few weeks). So she's finally home. Problem is, we already had "her" name lined up, then when we finally picked it up - was told it's a boy!! (Is she the first beetle to undergo a sex change??) Anyway, it's moss green, cream interior - (linings etc so clean - still like new). Original paint work in excellent condition (minus one or two stone chips and some wear on the inside door pillar where seatbelt has scratched it). But now it's time for a bit of 'sexing up' - maybe some chrome accessories or something?? What do ya reckon?? Just a bit scared to put 'holes' in her. We love her (him??)- will post some pics when I get them.... But look out, I will probably have hundreds of more questions now.... CB Hotdog & Gazza

Special Air Service said to get some f&r gravel guards and one of these badges - not that I'm racing off to get the badges - but would it be like false advertising to put them on if you don;t have the 'foresaid fancy accessories (or gravel guards only).

Just interested in more about when you would display this badge - or does anyone put it on if they get hold of it regardless???

thanks dude - that'd be great. IWe still in 'ideas' stage so good to get a feel of what's out there and available before we start the 'sex up'. Love the window sill things on that pic that you posted on this thread - and the pop outs (exie I imagine??).

I'm thinking gravel guards & pop outs at this stage. Think I'm going off the visor(?) and louvres(?). Like the understated look but something eye catching at the same time....

Anyway, pics would be great - thanks.....
