did you go back to the stock tails? what did you do with the all clear ones? want to sell them?

[scarabY2k]

Hi Dan,

love that "Audi TT like" exaust construction! Also at the interior some very nice styling ideas, especially the new black-carbon rear side covering (rear speaker surrounding)! But where are your foglights gone?

Take a look at my project-car a few threads beneath!

Your NB looks awesome...... Welcome to the NB Org.

I see that you are sponsored by Meguiars. I am a fan of Megs as well. 99% of my detailing supplies are Meguiar's.

So the last pic i saw of your car. your tail pipes were not functional. has that changed?

[porschtrimr]

hey thanks for the replies folks,
sorry the clear rears were sold straight away to a bug owner in france!
yellowracer which fogs do u mean the front or rear???
my model never had fronts,so when the turbo front went on i replaced them with airducts which will eventually direct air to a porsche big red set up,the rear fog and reverse are inside the tailpipes!which as mr yellow mentioned are not functional,although that too is due to change soon when i finally get my custom system,then the fog and reverse will be re located and should be practically invisible until they are lit!

p.s amari im not sponsored by meguiars ,but due to a bug owning mate i get the chance to exhibit on their stand at some of the shows over here,which is cool!

Tsssssss.... this car is hot - I love the rear bumper (and the engine cover ) Do you get problems with the cover because of heat from the engine ?

thanks for the praise,it s nice to get some feedback on the modifications

i had no real issues when the engine cover was leathered, but i nade some special treatments for it,but after a full year of daily use it was starting to look a little worse for wear,so for this years shows i pulled off the leather and used the porsche cloth,but so far i have only put that on for shows,as i think it might catch fire!!!!!!if i use it daily

gonna change it for something new in the next few weeks when i get some spare time

Hot bug. That exhaust set up kicks .

[GatorBeetle]

Excellent ride!! You do excellent work!

[porschtrimr]

hey everyone,been checking out all your cars and there are some pretty wild rides on here,good to see what your getting up to on the other side of the world,
juggbugg is yours a factory colour?? i dont think we get a hardtop in that colour only a vert!!
a colour change is high on my list of new mods but need something that goes with the interior,my choices so far are

audi tt nimbus grey
beigey /brown darker than harvest moon sort of cappucino colour,but matt not gloss
leftfield choice is
porsche peppermint green 80 s cal look style

what ya all think??

[GatorBeetle]

Porsche Peppermint would ROCK!!

[Nashman28]

Audi TT nimbus grey is nice but to much cars are already equipped with that color...

My idea would be orange from the Audi TTR or maybe the neon yellow from the old 80's Ford Sierra. But peppermint green is also a good choice

[porschtrimr]

would love orange,but over here it is too popular,i only know of one bug here in the uk that is nimbus and thought it would go well with the brown interior,but still not decided

supposed to have had the day off today but ended up iu work finishing a mates seats!!

vw golf g60 seats all trimmed up in audi leather and n.o.s mk1 golf gti cloth
what y all think,should look hot when all back together

[scarabY2k]

[DannyRandomState]

The rear is just awesome the bumper and the exhaust!
