See, Phat Bug has way more than I do........

Still tossing up wether to add the rear wheel arch stone guards and the scuff guards for the door handles!

What you really need is a Mugen or Nizmo sticker now. Good for about 15kilowatts at the sunvisor.

Will post up my accessories soon but for now check out these cool items I found ages ago. Does anyone have any of these

Early Kombi fold up steering wheel. Not sure of the history here

that clock is pretty cool

Nice thread. Yeah, I have a couple.
Probably more in the shed unfortunetly than on my car, which is scary in its self, but when I had a Beetle, the last count was 80 odd..

Rhett you would have far more than 27.. You are just not looking close enough. As far as the Notch, again, unsure.

My target was always 100 like Uncle Jerry on his Herbie Beetle, but I am not there.. yet. One day, mark my words.

When you guys talk about an accessory such as a set of eye brows or anything that comes in pairs are you counting them as 1 accessory or 2 accessories. For my mind it should be 1.

Your thoughts please

How many would jnr have??

The only one I have so far is this lighted sign for the back of the oval, says it all really!

just over 60(all fitted)
with more to come!!

Give us a list and a few picks of some of them

Cheers

John

i dont know about how many but Aldos cars have got the shit nathans tinkdf got some gems too.mine has only a few.

The problem I see with adding too many accessories is that it slows the car down. I only have a 1300, 40hp and too many more accessories and I may not be able to get to 65mph unless I am going down Hill with a tailwind behind me!

got a few on the arse of mine ,the newest beening red tail lights and the Aussie dealer number plate cover

Not currently fitted but hopefully one day will be on an oval. Rare? Well never seen another in Australia. Shorrock Volkswagen super charger. Better and way more expensive than Judson in it's day.

Can we have a few pics would love to see some of the stuff you have on ya Dub!!!!

Here's mine;
I need some more by the look of it!!!
A twin carb conversion and FRAM filter is on the way.......

this is a good read nuffin like a Bling Perv...I said it before and I'll say it again," love the Phatbug"😎plus

I'd better gets some more bling! Losing big time here......but will it slow me down.........?

62 deluxe i love your car.Dove blue.

Just took a trip to Ipswich and scored some more

Steering column Lock
