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 - July 15th, 2007 at 11:39 AM

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:crazy:


Notch Nut - July 15th, 2007 at 12:52 PM

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


ancientbugger - July 15th, 2007 at 03:00 PM

Congratulations and welcome to the club! and don't forget to register it on http://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:crazy:

emma3 - July 15th, 2007 at 05:10 PM

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

[ Edited on 15-7-2007 by emma3 ]


Yogie - July 16th, 2007 at 08:24 AM

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?
