That's a sweet lookin bug! I like the colour - not something you see everyday. I like the way the whitewalls & wheels match the insert. :thumb😎

She's got a slammed front end, rear is lowerd 1 outer spline, stockies with 125s on the front, 6 1/2 inch rears with 205s, white walls, roof rack, sunvisor, bug deflector, cats eye headlights, gravel gaurds, individual vent trims, venitian, fog light, blue dot tail lights, original pull out picnic radio, nice and tall kombi shifter, cromed glove box lid and ash tray, jag wheel trims. Still to go on I have NOS mudflaps, NOS Happich tail pipe trim, empi badges, spats.
The colour is my own custom mix called hot wheels purple.

But my favourite part is the number plates PHATVW, which were a 21st present from my fiance.

By the way,Bini approves of this modification Though would prefer consultation in the future. You know how upset he gets when not kept in the loop!!!

Dave, Just wondering if I can get Bini's approval on a pair of spats?
I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago, but forgot to mention it.

By the way I didnt realise you two were talking again, especially after you spreading rumors that he was a poof.
