New Beetle with old bug hubcaps
thought this was a pretty cool mod for a new beetle, standard steel wheels pop rivited with clips and 70s flat hubcaps fitted...

I know Ollie - he does some of the mods for my friend BJ's car. She and Ollie are using old Type 3 scripts for their boot.

Vwfool, Vanderaj,
Any idea of what clips they used for the hub caps? I have used early beetle ones to hold those hub caps on my Merc rims (on a bay Kombi).
They aren't a good fit though. Some better clips would be nice!
Thanks,
Andy

Those hubcaps look good on a New Beetle, better than NB hubcaps on an old Beetle in my opinion. I just love chrome that's all.
The badge is not my cup of tea though.
It doesn't look in proportion. If the letters were slanted the right way it would look better.
I have edited this and decided after looking again the badge is not too bad it does have some slant on the letters. Amazing how things can grow on
you.

Why don't they put an Air-cooled engine in the boot, battery under the back seat, spare wheel in the engine bay, and get some tiny wipers... |
