Just wanted to share with you all some pics of my new baby!!! 😍 I picked her up at approx 10:30am this morning and have been cruising all day! I caught up with Jess, Jace & Chris for lunch and we all took lots of pics! I've waited about 4 and a half months for my new beetle and I'm so happy I finally have it. She's an absolute dream to drive and was so worth the wait!! Here's more info about my NB...
She's a brand new 2008 Silver Volkswagen Beetle TDI Model with a Sunroof, Rust/Paint protection, Tinting, Genuine VW floor mats and with personalised number plates 🙂 I'm sure it won't take long for me to bling this baby up!!!
FIRST PICCY BEFORE I DROVE IT HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP!...
PICCY IN MY FOLKS' DRIVEWAY...
IN THE CARPARK...
JOINED BY ANOTHER HOT VW .. I think it might be Ang3l 🙂
TWO NICE ASSES 😍 SOOOO HOT!!

I see there are lots of accessories You can buy for the New Beetle - like chrome pieces that go over the door handles etc... chromed bits.. Lee
ang3lsholocaust ·

there has been many changes to the new beetles from i think 2003(could be wrong about the year) and so on
more so on the outside then the inside. but yet still some changes made there as well

foxy_fuchsia ·
Hi Lee, thanx! Yes she definately was worth the wait. I've also seen there are alot of accessories you can purchase like chrome bits for the door handles, interior and so forth, clear tail lights etc .. can't wait until I have a chance to see what's out there so I can start prettying the bug up 👍
haha thanx for the congrats chris, although you and my beetle were getting mighty friendly today 😉 Can't wait till we cruise to the coast for our BBQ!

squizy ·
Nice one Joh. Any plans for it at all? Those Joh plates would be popular in Qld no doubt.
Midlife crisis ·
Very nice👍😵

👍
foxy_fuchsia ·
Thanx h! It sure was worth it 🙂 I reakon I could see you in a convertable, wind in your hair cruising at the coast hehe. When I fully open the sunroof it's a bit like that for me and the passengers in the car. Will be nice when it's spring/summer though (tad cold atm).
And squizy, I have alot of plans going around in my head atm, first I just want to get some nice wheels for it & lower it a bit. And I would like to put a nice stereo in it, maybe with some doof doof 🙂 Not to sure what else as of yet but im sure I'll keep you guys updated. And yes, I was suprised those number plates where still available, I've had them for a while now! But I'm so glad I decided to get them.
Thanx for your comment Marc, might see you cruising around if I'm down your way at all 👍
OH, btw I've beeped at 2 old beetles so far and none of them recipricated!! 😢
Yogie ·
Congratulations on your new purchase. Our 2004 is in for its 150,000 service today and they have given me a bright yellow tdi for a loan car. They go pretty well with all that torque. You will love it I'm sure.
Yogie
ian.mezz ·
I hope you look after this one better then the ford explorer hehehehe🤪
the service cost on a new beetle are a killer its about $66 just for the oil , so dont let this little car end up like your Ford😂:l😂 make sure Joh gets all his services
foxy_fuchsia ·
Thanx Yogie, I am yet to see if she goes, I've been told they go really well with the amount of torque in them but for the moment I'm just running my baby in and probably will be for a few months. Hey Ian, I've heard the NB services are expensive but I believe there's no point buying an expensive car if someone isn't going to maintain it which I intend to do...ford explorer? I've never owned a Ford explorer, what are you talking about!? lol 🤓
kroozzn63 ·
nice 👍
M16S VW ·
Very nice 😀 I've got 2 TDi Beetles - a 1998 and a 2008! Love them both to bits. Both feel very different to drive tho, despite being the 'same' car.... well the 98 is LHD which makes it different, but there's more than that - it's a different 'feel' to each car.
I'm teaching people to drive in the 2008 one 😀

depends upon where you go... dealerships can be quite expensive with a minor service anywhere around $300-400. (for the petrol models - not sure of costing for diesels)
there is a website that has suggestive prices for servicing.
foxy_fuchsia ·
Hey M165, I love mine to bits as well & the first ones that came out were nice to. In about 2006 I had a 2002 miami model! I sit in the NB now though and can instantly smell that new car smell...ahhh it's bliss.
😂 Your funny Ian! I did actually have a ford laser (not explorer), but it was a 1983 model and there were a few issues with the engine!! hehehe 😏 ... and definately no drag racing for my baby!!! I still have the laser I'll just be using it to drive to and from the train station each day in.
👍
foxy_fuchsia ·
Ok cool...
thanx for the info blutopless 🙂 Question, do you know where I can start sussing out after market accessories?
greasykitchen ·
Hi ya, congrats on the purchase. I've never even been in a new care let alone owned one. My newest car is the same age as me!
Anyway, as I often say the Watercooled VW forum is full of useful advice re servicing costs, aftermarket mods etc http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/
Best of luck.
Cheers 🙂

thats ok me on some good drugs 🤪, yer me know you have a laser ,fenrayer from wa had the explorer thats right, me just got me cars mixed up, I knew it was a Ford of some sort😂
What no drag racing🥲
Try classic veedub he was going to get NB stuff
foxy_fuchsia ·
cheers thanx Stephen! The last car I drove was the same age as me to lol
I know what you mean blu! I've just gotten it I should probably just drive and enjoy it for a while, I still wanna suss all the accessories out tho tee hee. That's the fun part 😉 And ian, I think classic veedub is a good place to start. George helped me out heaps with my 68'
vw 4 life ·
Wow, there lookin great!!
mscabrio ·
CONGRATS!!!!!! Ur new bug is simply gorgeous ..... Don't even listen to what Blutopless says about waiting to accessorise ur bug he would have no clue and is jealous because he doesn't own a NB. He likes to think he does, but unless his name is Tracey I don't think so .....😂
Try the classic vee dub website, they did have a prestige euro section which has all bits for the newbies. My cabrio has clear tailights and has been lowered with chrome exhaust and 18 inch wheels. The chrome bits and pieces look hot, especially the door trims
foxy_fuchsia ·
mscabrio thanku 🙂 hahaha I reakon he may be a lil jealous 😉 lol
I will definately get onto classic veedub coz i wanna accessorise baby! I looooooooove chrome.

yeah the new car smell is lovely! 😀
And you don't wanna drag race it, you wanna race it round corners! i've done a small track in my 98 and it was awesome!!!
foxy_fuchsia ·
Wooooooooooow! That's one hot NB, and the racing stripe looks awesome M16S.. and you even have the plates to! Mmmm, lookin at this pic maybe I could eventually take it out on a race track 😉
ang3lsholocaust ·
I'll try it out on the track for you Joh.
Jess won't let me use hers 🙁
foxy_fuchsia ·
hehe Jace I dunno about that 🙅😁
ang3lsholocaust ·
haha over my dead body u will take my car or joh's beetle on
a race track lol 😵🙄
once again babe love your new baby..
its so hard getting used to the disel sound lol
foxy_fuchsia ·
hahaha i know!! My Dad calls it mini-diesel, coz he has a big diesel van lol I'm sure it will sound hotter with an exhaust!
OMG Kcee cracked me up the other day about the diesel thing as well!!! She's so adorable 😵💫
ian.mezz ·

yer yer let Jace race it on the nice soft sand . the mini-diesel should have heaps of pull on the sand🤪😂🤪😂😂
ang3lsholocaust ·
MMMM Sand
GOOD IDEA Ian 😀 A Baja'd new beetle sounds like a good mod for it. :P
bajachris88 ·
hell yea!
Mind you though, if you get a aftermarket exhaust for a diesel new beetle, it will sound like a madarse mack truck for sure :P
IF jace can't race it, can i? :P
bajachris88 ·
mmm, baja new beetles are hot!
matara ·
Happy new Year
I reckon the changes to the front end styling are very porsche 997 like:-
Lower it, put some Porsche 18' wheels on it and some Porsche Brembo brakes and it will look even hotter
These ones are Mille Miglia's and come in New Beetle Stud pattern:-
Cheers
Steve
