I'm thinking of doing a beetle cop car
I've been having visions of doing a cop car or maybe even
a state trooper black and white.
How close to an Aussie cop car can I get before the patience is tested with the real plods?
Im guessing the word police is forbidden and probably any checks in blue and white. But I could do it in German....

This was done at the VW Nationals in Sydney a few years ago... And they were real Highway patrol cops...
they had permission to use the real stickers etc for the day only for display purposes...
Everything had to be taken off before it went back on the road....

I'd be cheeky and mark them up as Highway patrol complete with fake radar unit and lightbar.
And to demonstrate the true meaning of the highway patrol, I'd plaster plenty of Bankcard/Visa/Eftpos decals on it as well.
maybe some Krispy Creeme sponsorship?

How bout along these lines?
I think there are laws against certain colour flashing lights etc so you'd have to check that too.

12 years ago it was illegal to SELL or Own a Blue flashing light....
A friend wanted one for a disco..... but Never got one.....
You can buy new ones these days... I'd say its highly illegal to have one on Your car though....
I have an original Blue Flashing light....
I'll have to check to see what condition its in....
I wonder what happens to all the light bars etc when they change cars, as new bars are used... and the old model radar units etc.... ??
Someone must have them....
Maybe they have to be destroyed...??

hell yes thats an awesome idea love the sheriff rat rod but on a budget
the first model car that would be the best complete with german markings should let you get away with it , you could make a speed camera out of a hair
dryer and dress up as a slezey german cop ha ha "to many police academy movies "

The lightbars are used for two models and then sold on to either other sataes or countries. They are containered and then exported. At over 1500 each
they are used a fair bit before forwarded.
About every second model they use they put on a new light bar so if memory serves me government purchasers trade at about 50k so light bars gat 100k
up and then replaced.
I like the rod the best.

if I can get onto my other hard drive at my house (I am at work) I have a baja cop car from Holland last year.
As for light bars out here, you have to have a permit to have them on the car (from memory) in NSW, and the permit gives special conditions for the
use of the lights. I remember this from the inside cabin of a few fire tenders during bush fires, I got to read the permits while we were moving from
fire to fire.
I'd def go tteh foreig language thing though, I know it is a punishable offence to represent yourself as a Cop, and I have a vague feeling that
includes owning certain items of their equipment as well.
Anyone know/is/married to someone who knows???

I think so yeah, anybody who wants to put forward their ideas for this
please do. I can still change the colour I was meaning to paint it but probably looking at it being mostly 'beige' as Sir Fender puts it with
everything else on top of that.
It doesnt need to be a real copy of a real police car but one that was created in the twisted minds of vw lovers.
I love the black and white rod or the state trooper thing but then should probably keep it German.
Would it be better to get stickers done or do it all in paint/airbrushing?

i reckon vinyl stickers would have much sharper edges and would be easier and cheaper to do than airbrushing. Also u can remove it if the cops dont
like it

chatted to reli who's a copper..
Says its perfectly legal to have those sort of emblems (blue and white etc.) on the car ..can even have the word 'police.' As long as you don't get
out of the car and say you are a cop then you aren't representing yourself as one. He thinks driving with light is illegal but is unsure..
I think the german 'polizei' would be the coolest

OK then, it's settled.
I'm not much good at photoshopping so if anybody wants to submit designs, the winning creativist will get full credit plus a pair of used rocker
cover gaskets as reward for their efforts.
And many thanks to the person who offered the decals for free. A true gentleman.
