Two tone colour schemes
Unfortunately my Superbug is white, a colour I least like, but it's in good shape and that's the most important thing.
While searching the various VW sites I've noticed lots of Beetles, mostly older ones with two-tone colour schemes. With the section from the
rear wing to the front down painted a different colour to the rest of the car.
I kind of like this idea, but would it look okay if a dark colour was painted in this section and the rest of the car is left white? Or is it better
the other way round?
Are there any pics of Super Bugs painted like this? What are your opinions?
Also I’m finding it hard to find a suitable radio to go in my bug, all of the 80’s style ones are too big, does anyone know where I could buy a
original style radio?

My '69 is also white, arctic white to be exact ,the whitest of whites. Have you ever thought of some subtle graphics to break up the white ?
White is a good colour especially if you have a nice set of chromeys. I've gone white powder coated wheels with chrome caps and dress rims avatar
doesn't do it justice. |

Thanks for your suggestions.
I think black on the bottom would look good; it would match my black bumpers.
vw54 your oval looks awesome. I love the eyelids.

The black panel on the door doesn't do it for me. It looks odd.
Darker colours seem to wok better on the body?
I like the second pic of the grey/green and white, and it's a bit different.
