Default Hello from Illinois' Northern Stateline

My girlfriend and I just drove the new Beetle home last night! It's incredible and we love it. Already made a thread on the tex, which is where I usually lurk. Hope it's ok to link.

Hm... I am trying to figure out which model you actually have.
Your pictures show a RED Beetle... with color concept wheels... that would make it Uni-Red Sport, except those didnt' come with concept seats, they came with black sport seats.

The 2003(04?) Uni-Red Color Concept came with the red seats, but NOT the Take-5 Wheels. The only Beetle that came with RED Take-5 wheels was the Sport version.

SO either A: the Car is an orange car and the camera colors are off, or you have a car that has several cars combined into one. Either way, SWEET

Did you find out yet if it's in fact chipped or not?

Everyone keeps saying that!

In person, it is very much so Orange. Not sure why, but even on the Dealer's website it looked Red. And no, we haven't found out if it's really chipped or not yet. I was going to go down to the shop with it, but my brother figured the guy would probably appreciate a call first, and we didn't have his number... So we're just gonna go when our friend can go with to introduce us and such.

Thanks! Do you have stock tails? They look darker to me. Your car looks hott though.

Seems like there is way more activity on here than the Vortex Beetle forums. Is this the case?

  • The tails are indeed stock, just in shadow when I took the pictures (( I actually took 3 photos and created an exposure blend to get the best details from all areas )).
  • Yes, we usually seem to be MUCH more active in chat / pm / e-mails than the Vortex

You should check the "CHAT" button on the purple bar .. we love to chat. And we love pictures!

Got some more pictures taken, figured I'd post'em up!

Just rolled over this.


First shower with us.


And we met another Color Concept at the gas station down the road!



It was funny, I got out and yelled "Sweet Color Concept!" to her, and she just said, "Thanks, I like that color too." /sigh
