ColumBUS ·

bugboymatt ·
Umm.......... not much to say to that......
ColumBUS ·
what drunken buffoon came up with that bodykit?
baybuscamperkid ·
the whaletail would make an awesome looking sink😎
Fossil ·
SUX in a word (the green one) :repuke
SKEWtYpe3 ·

KIKKO can u keep his dream alive !
its in your hands now :P
ColumBUS ·
first modification: a big FOR SALE sign
SKEWtYpe3 ·
notice how many body kits are for sale but dont get sold, coz of obviouse reasons of asthetics and that the 80's come back didnt include cars, looks like this guy bought them all and dropped some acid then went to work with a 50kg bucket of glass resin and an angle grinder..............:repuke

hey kikko. go the split and widen on the original guards. will look way better than that ugly flared guard shit *sigh with the thought, i have to add.... in my opinion, and probably many others also 😉*. you jsut cut the guard down the middle and then insert a 50mm strip. this way you can get the phat look, the clearance in the guards, but still keep the smooth rounded shape of your guards.
did this front and rear in the pic below. you can see how far the guards protrude beyond the running board. gave it a great look.

SKEWtYpe3 ·

ColumBUS ·
meh they look good when done properly like E has done.
his wheels fill the guards!
what he does need to do is slam it down low! and slap some whitewalls on that sucker!
ruckus ·
Kikko I think you're blending your genres a little too much there:repuke
empi ·

Nothing wrong with the ol humpy Guards.
I use to have them on my old 64 Beetle.

Was that green Beetle concocted in a laboratory where someone put a bit of Lamborghini DNA and spliced it into a Beetle and grew the whole lot in a petri dish?
Kinda like the mouse with the ear growing on it's back.
It would look a lot better if you extended the kit to include the roof, doors, bonnet, guards and squashed the whole car to 1/3 of it's original height.

WOAHHHH EASE UP TURBO!!! wait u prolly dont have one.
haha
nah think flared guards CAN look good. that green beetle is pathetic. but a subtle flare just so that you can fit some wider rims underneath them is a good option in my opinion.
