Hi

That purple looks great when its in good nick, I used to service a bug that colour with chromies, it looked great. What is that colour called again, plum loco?

So are these going in the Rose & Ian collection? Rexy would fit nice in them?

No such thing as a factory ragtop sunroof type 3 :no:
still a nice job though, great colour, looks like it has some typical rust in the A and C pillars

How do you guys find these? I wish I could stumble on some gems like these.


vlad01 - October 24th, 2010 at 07:58 PM

any updates? can you, if possible try to find the paint sticker under the bonnet of the purple one.
And let the world know what it is :D

I dont think its the original colour, looks to have been white originally

Its just really dirty outside
The colour is actually hot pink, dont think that was factory issue :lol:

the primer is whitish gray. Looks purple to me and same as mine. Can you check it? the sticker that is.


vlad01 - October 24th, 2010 at 08:40 PM

hmm that is very interesting. So the notchbacks do have a different heater channels shape to the other models.
