No disrepect, but have you ever driven a new beetle ? I am happy to take you for a drive in mine. Believe me it is no plastic childs car !!!!
Once you sink your ass into my cabrio's heated leather seats you will realise that it is pure quality !
As for it only being a city car, I only want a city car. If I wanted a car to go off road I would buy a BIG FWD, not a chopped up old beetle

When you find 20 inch rims for the new cabrio, then let me know. I can't find anything bigger than 17's !!!!!
What do you mean when you find 20inch rims?
Nearly every tyre place sells 20inch + these days.
I walked into Tempe Tyres and he said please tell me your putting 20+inch on that. I said no just 18" thanks LoL
yeh but what he says and what he would find out are two different things, as far as i know you can not get a 20x7.5 inch rim, well maybe in america. The offset on our bugs are a weird set up, very rare indeed:P and thats as wide as we can go with out putting wider guards on. I know when i dumped mine with the coilovers its not as low as it can go. the wheels are stopping it from going further, but i do believe a 65-70mm drop from standard height is enough for now😉
hows bug going Fatbug

maybe everything that dies one day comes back..
put your make up on and your hair up pretty..
and meet me tonight in Atlantic city..
Yes mscabrio, you can find 20inch rims for it anywhere you just have to find out stud pattern/offset ect but they can do that for you, but any rim that has that same stud pattern will fit. Just dont go to Bob Jane!! Go to a place specialise in mags like Ozzy tyres, tempe tyres...do a search in google or look in the yellow pages.
I put a piccy below to show you some hot beetles with wheels from Ozzy Tyres-
Those wheels on the Silver bug are wicked ! That is EXACTLY what I want, right amount of Bling !!!!
How did you know that I went to Bob Jane ??????. I also have been many other places but can't find the RIGHT one !
I am assuming that Ozzy is symbolic for Australia and not Ozzy Osbourne ???????
🤘
One more...
Oooh I want a new one!! hehehe

What are you talking about ??????? You bought it !!!!!!
Remember I wanted a Hyundai !!!! hehehehehehehe:thumb

hehe, yes Ozzy = australia I gather and I have had so many friends go to Bob Jane and get ripped off and they will try and sell you there brand, no one elses. Have a look at the temp tyres website...
http://www.tempetyres.com.au/
They deliver anywhere in oz and you could just get your local mechanic to fit them and balance them? But there would have to be a place like this in Vic!
I vote for classic.... because its classic, and the other is a funny shaped mexican golf. Even though I have displayed my lack of affection for NB previously, I do find myself attracted to the aquarius blue cabrio. But it has to be aquarius blue. I almost like Mellow Yellow, but not quite.
What is it about tempe tyres????? Why does every second ricer cruise around with a back window full of TT sticker? Shits me to death. Are wheels and tyres so cheap that you would feel obligated to drive around giving free advertising for eternity?
You find a lot about tyre quality when you try to drill a 2 inch hole in them... which you do a fair bit of when maintaining a race track. Drilling through a Bob Jane 'out of rounder' will give you the giggles.

Woooooohooooooooo, My cabrio is Aquarius blue, I hated it at the start, I wanted Harvest moon but had to wait too long. But now I am so glad, it is my fave cabrio color and not that common!
So is that what that the TT sticker means ? I have seen it on Nissan's but never knew what it meant

Tempe tyres will drill the rim to fit your car. As you will find alot of there tyres come with no holes and they get drilled out to suit your car.
You could fit 20's easy. As long as your sensible and dont want the tyres sitting inside the gaurds.
Which bug are you talking about Y2K, Im guessing the new one? 🙂
Ohh Theres this new bug near me. its that Green colour but the owner has bought everything possible chrome for this car. heres a list.
ALL CHROME:
Mudflaps
Fuel cover sticker
Door Handles
Scratch plate
Round the window chrome trim
Round the door chrome trim
Round the boot lid chrome trim
Rings round the lights
Ugly Front chrome cover looking stick on grill.
Id hate to see inside of it. They must of just selected every part on a website for them and orded it.
Every part on this car is chrome. and they have ruined the car it looks so cheap. Not to mention it has $900 bob jane chrome wheels. This car is terrible and a disgrace to beetle. They drive past with this big grin and i laugh.
The best time was i was at the lights and i had the ugly green one infront of me, sitting there picking on it what looks shit with my girlfriend and a little kid in the car next to me looks over and gives me the thumbs up and goes "Yours looks better" hehe.
I just dont know how people can ruin it with junk. They must of spent $1000 of dollars on plastic chrome assories.
The most we have agreed to put on the new bug is Chrome door handles.
That's funny FATBUG !
The only chrome bits on my girl is her twin Porsche look alike exhaust that was custom made, otherwise she is clean. That's why I want such in ur face wheels. I am not into more chrome than that !
There is a black new beetle that is parked near work and the owners have used lots of accessories but they are satin chrome and it looks a little funny
🤘
Yeh some people go abit overboard and think it looks good.
We only have Chrome rims and a Chrome Dual Tip Exhaust by Hurricane Headers. Reccomend anything by them.
The exhaust place i go to has about 12 units and its liek a complex and they do everything to do with exhaust and even make there own systems. They do a top job.
