Spirit is a 2004 GL TDI with the DSG gearbox, in Sunflower Yellow w/ Grey leatherette.
Thus far, mods have been fairly light, and include:
BRM wheels (of course)
Eeyore's rubber running board covers
Blue & white Euro emblems
PIP wood slat roof rack (still goin' strong)
Chrome eyebrows
Chrome taillight trim
Chrome side trim
Number discs on doors (these come and go when they need cleaning)
Monster mats
Wolfsburg crest tissue box in rear seat
Belkin iPod holder mounted in TVA aluminum bud vase
Might be forgetting something, but so far she's just mildly modded. Will do more eventually, I'm sure.
Thanks! The first two pics were taken in Tokio, Texas, which is on the way to R2k (and is basically just that building, more or less). I've taken pics of all three of my retro NBs there. Something about the place just intrigues me.
The third is from Roswell (of course). Steph and I were exploring around the town and taking pics at all the old buildings/signage there. That's the (apparently long-abandoned) Roswell Motor Supply building.
Your New beetle looks saaweeeeet! Love the Flat Four BRMs, and the badges. EMPI rules, or at least they did way back when I used to read Hot VW magazines as a teenager. I always wanted EMPI and Gene Burg parts on my beetle. I was going to use BRMs on my car and go with a so called high performance retro look until I saw the Caractere kit and went down that road. Oh well, I'm rattling on see you around(maybe Roswell next year).
P.S.
If you don't want this picture in your thread let me know and I'll remove it.
Just baught my first car. 2000vw beetle. Manual. 140k miles on it . Love it so far had some repairs to stop it from over heating but no check engine lights or anything is on. Runs well now. Learning how to drive a manual is scary but fun feels like I'm actually learning how to drive for real...
18x8 TSW Jarama Wheels, 225/40 Michelin Pilot A/S plus tires,Eibach pro-kit lowering springs, Audi TT pedals. Soon will be big brake kit, HID headlight conversion anti-roll bar, performance chip, and cold-air intake.:cool:
We're working on building a Baja Bug to take to the Detroit Gambler 500 in May. Since we've utilized this forum for some research purposes, I figured I would share some information and photos from our build.
We utilized the Stage 3 Lift Kit from VWLiftKits.com. It includes better springs...
