Wow, the little spoiler really helps balance the extra long tail on these conversions. Nice work!

Cheers, Yeah the purple is a custom mix. And he spoiler was by accident, sat in a car park next to a Audi TT and thought they look about the same width, had to work the angle on the feet a bit but nearly bolted straight on, Mods include roof chop with lowered screen, front disk conversion, 3/4 side scoop air vents, TT wing, Flush running boards, Custom install and re trim in Jag 2tone leather, Custom paint. A few of the interior for you   and the seat to match the boot pin striping  |

Those seats look great. I used a set from the new Mini , and adapted the rears to fit the Wiz.
Any pics on how you did the side air scoops ?

Yeah was the Cyber Green(new Beetle colour) Wizard Roadsters demo car. Was around 2000 i think, Alot of effort adding side lights to them. have seen mini lights also used.
Yeah side scoops are 4 inch tube rolled and then sliced diagonally then welded into the quarters. with flexi hose attached though to where the twin carbs will be the other side of the bulkhead. ill get some more pics up for you.

Whilst I am not a fan of slopy eyed wings on later cars I really do think that looks spot on . On quite a few occasions the same old formulas work . Great looking Beetle I must say. |

Cheers for the good comments, Even though it still has a short bonnet on still i think it gets away with it, I guess all the big windows have been cut off which help. close up of the side scoops as requested, Will try and find the old pics and scan them in as it been done a while. Just looked painted in June 05!  |
