I'm getting my hands on a work colleagues modern Beetle soon (1.6 boggo standard jobbie).
Any ideas as to what sensible mods/upgrades are recommended?
Cheers

A gallon of petrol and a lighter?  Seriously though what about going the opposite of scene |

No stance, no tyres that don't fit properly, now mega lows, no Merc or BMW rims, basically anything you see at edition 38 is scene and should be avoided. Make it individual, easy to transplant any mk4 golf platform engine and 'box in and go mental.

Not really sensible and hardly an 'upgrade' but cutting the floor out and sitting the body on an old aircooled Bug chassis  *Sensible reply*, depends what you're into and style you're after |

A gallon of petrol? Really? I know fuel has come down in price but still It already has steelies on it. Anti-scene. Hmm, so no roof rack with old suitcases, crates or deck chairs then. I could do that. |

I reckon you could take a lot of influence from the older rod scenes.  Maybe not that much influence   I like this more than I probably should |

If was me I'd go back to 1989 and a southend uk cal look....pastel paint, porsche fuchs or empis, a few trick engine mods etc. Kind of a homage to the old school bug days  |
