nice!........always nice to keep things at the same level, ie drive line, brakes, interior, paint..sometimes certain aspects get left behind as we persue others, so congrats on the update!
..seats look the goods

You did whattttttttttttttttttttttttttt.......
Looks awesome, but I hate to say, looks similar to ricola's color.
plans for a different style of cage?
DaveCarter ·
looks very nice Jak. I like the new colour. Plus now you can re embarrass all the ricers in "that grey bug that sounded heaps like the purple one"
silver ·
nice car nice colour,
much better than purple
Craig S ·
Nice work, looks the goods. 👍 It just makes me more envious than I already was! 🤓
cnfabo ·
yep, the grey looks better i think...
Joel ·
that VW1500 badge aint fooling anyone, that genuine vw parts sticker might though 😂
that new colour works perfectly with the cars theme
you're bug has got the perfect stance too 👍
JVLRacing ·
deffently added a spark of apperance......its about time u give the car a birthday pressy😎
STIDUB ·
nice, though i think id have to see it again in person to get a better idea of it, looks different from a few angles, if i had to pick though, make the wheels shinier or the bumpers etc darker, the rear looks out of place in that pic cos its the only shiny thing there.... but the front suits perfectly, now im torn, looking good though!
on a slightly unrelated note though, what size is that hole in your guard, i think i asked previously but cant remember 🙂
the important question is... is it now too pretty to race in may?
Flintstones ·
Looks much better in the grey Jak.
And the seats look the part as well.
Do me a favour though, either paint the rear calipers red, or paint the fronts black😉
Cheers

p.s. the house is coming along now
STIDUB ·
i will be, but the car... im doubtful but trying to get it sorted, not going to make it in time for bug-in but nats would be nice 🙂
Bizarre ·
Great colour!
Can you tell me what model the seats are??
LoganVWBogan ·
I reckon you need some carbon fiber headlight trims and bumpers, other than that, you've made a great car that my 1302S idolizes even better.

reub ·
Almost matches the r/c car.. 🙂
Looks good dude. Which I used my vwrx as much as you do yours...
squizy ·
Nice one Jak. A change is as good as a holiday, although I thought you would have painted it Subi Blue. 😉

Hi Jak,
How about we do an oval conversion?
Don't worry. I'll come up to your place with some sandpaper. We'll rub it back to purple again.
No wait start again. I'll give you $3,000 for it.
; ) CT

he wears purple g strings now

Jak Rizzo wrote:What do u mean now, I always have!
CT, U can have the car for $1300 without the conversion, or $3800 with the conversion, thats what it owes me.
if it wasn't a Superbug it would be worth more.

SuperOwen ·
Looks great, makes me seriously contemplate a subie conversion in mine!
Craig Torrens ·
looks great Jak 👍
now Christian will have to change his color on the oval !! 😂
GTMac ·
Gday Jak,looks great. Must admit never been a fan of Gunmetal Grey, probably because it was the preferred colour of Holden restos in the late 80s early 90s, but it suits your Bug brilliantly.
Joel ·
having owned a gun metal grey car a few years back best advice i can give is on the highway put your lights on
i swear it must be an invisiable colour to some people

Too right, I spend a lot of time on the road and I have promised myself I will never own a grey or light blue car, just too damned hard to see.😬

I've told my son about your car john & showed him all the pics, he's almost 10 years old.
He's hoping to see it run on a track in his lifetime.
So am I actually!
Jak [/quote]
What has been around longer, the build up of his racecar or the "for sale" advertisement of his R32 Golf ?😂
Love the seats too Jak.

My mate used to work at NRMA, he the told me that the most accident prone colour is silver.
and that's going off the claims that they process
Cheers

P.S. not trying to jinx you Jak....yours is grey so nothing to worry about🙅
555bug ·
looks great, i love the way it is always evolving. May I ask what brakes you are running up front?
Stephen
azrael_kadeus ·
i think i remember your car from a few years ago... looks good... im also looking at doing the subie conversion myself..
cam070 ·
Lovely lookin car Jak. Colour looks great, and nice seats, possibly the best conversion ever. I have had a pair of Recaros for for about 20 years and they just go from car to car. Money well spent I reckon.
boof2332 ·
Nice one Jak,
I have always liked the grey...looks good on the superbug.
I think prices for the superbugs are starting to climb and they are so much easier to do conversions on. I have Steve natolis old orange one in the shed right now awaiting a radiator.
