Bought my first VW last night a 2014 Beetle. This is the 3rd Beetle to join the family. My wife has 2 a 1998 and the 2011 final edition. The 2014 replaces a Mazda 6 that served me well for the last 6 years.

You want pics? You got em. I priced out the VW Racing Stripes and Side Panel Graphics along with a Rear Spoiler. Been having an argument with the wife as to what the name of the car will be. Yes, she named her beetles. She wants to call mine Phantom Mist. Uh No!! Does it look like a horse? When I was discussing it with my son teh conversation went more like this:

Me: There's no way this car is being named "Phantom Mist".

Son: That name stinks.

Me: I was think more like . . .

Son and me: "Ghost"!!

Ghost is a fitting name for that car I would rock that. And nice bug by the way can't wait to see more pictures of it in the near future.

That's what i'm talking bout man! Love the pics buddy- keep em coming.

The name....Ghost... I'm diggin it. Digging it a lot! So i'm envisioning light sliver racing stripes??? Whatever you do, i'm sure you'll make the right choice.

Looking forward to seeing the transformation of Ghost:cool:

Oh, make sure you start a photo thread for Ghost. It's a lot easier to chronicle and follow Ghost's progress on one thread, verses fishing through a ton of assorted threads.

Cheers.

Look in the events section, under the Northeast Threads.

Silver Stripes, hmm not sure about silver. The first car I bought as a kid was a 1972 Ford Mustang with gold racing stripes and Crager Rims. I actually thought about putting Gold Stripes on the bug, then I remembered the mustang. I dropped over 6 grand trying to keep that car running. What a money pit.

I've been watching a lot of videos DipYourCar.com, I could try their silver for the stripes and see how it looks. But I think the Ghost deserves Black Racing Stripes :D The photo thread will be Here
Welcome to the best automotive community on the planet! Water-cooled Beetle people are a very close-knit family. I have a White 2010. :)
I'll have to get some photos of my wife's cars. She has the Alpha and the Omega of the "New Beetles" a 1998 and a 2011 Final Edition.

It's funny you mentioned a mustang. .. for it was a white mustang with silver rally stripes that I saw, to give you that suggestion. It was a very pale silver, almost like a ghost cast.
I like Ghost, good name for a White Beetle.
It's better than Phantom Mist. That's the name my wife wants to call him. Not Happening :D
Hey welcome!! Can't go wrong with White :) View attachment 175041
Except for fact that birds just love to leave me a reminder that they love white too.:mad:
