Less than 100kB but preferably around 50kB.

You can upload to photobucket.com if you need to (need to register) and can link to the images that way......

or if you have trouble email them to me and I'll resize them and post them for you!

I have heard they are a really complex installation; I think there is a video of how to do it that can be hired from Club VW in Sydney...??

emma3 ·

I got given the manual on how to put it on but not that game to try, the last cover split from being put on too tight think best left to someone who knows what there doing🤪

Notch Nut ·

Looks like it's ready for cruising. Great score.:thumb

ancientbugger ·

Congratulations and welcome to the club! and don't forget to register it on www.typ15.com another one for Oz:kiss Oh and by the way it's Karmann...a bit trivial I know but it's like Volkswagon instead of Volkswagen, they both irritate the crap out of me🤪

thanks for the spelling lesson ancientbugger I promise never to get it wrong again by the way i like the bug in your pics nice blue thanks yogie for the number do you know roughly how much it cost to get the cover on

Yogie ·

Mine was a bit different as I already had the material and everything including new bows etc. Easier just to give Nick a call as I would only be guessing.

What is the bug register for?

Hey vickie, i do live close by what does your bug look like I will keep an eye out for it.

ancientbugger ·

That website is a worldwide register just for beetle cabriolets. It's an interesting site and has some great piccies.

vickie ·

emma3 ·

emma3 ·

hey I am starting to notice other vw s again I have been doing the usual new bug thing thinking everyone is driving too close or someone at the shops is going to crash into the bug with their trolley but other than that i am having a great time :bounce

vw54 ·

Looks like one of the cars boris brought into Aussie back in the late 80s

ancientbugger ·

I saw a nice looking girl driving a yellow cab up here in Noosa about a year ago and never seen her since😢 Wouldn't have been you though would it?

emma3 ·

🙅it wasn't me I only bought it last month. The bug was bought in from the U.S in 1995.

vw54 ·

Do u know who brought it in ???

emma3 ·

the previous owner had it sent over when he moved here with his family, he had it in storage for 10 years before he decided to get it sent but i don't know which company he used to do that
