Exclamation 2003 *new* Turbo S beetle

FINALLY found a new beetle to replace my Tyra(2000 GLS turbo) that was totaled last week. Bought it for $8750 with 85500miles on it.

LOVE the way it drives, buit of course it needs upgrades. Like a CD player, floor mats, and of course a PINK outer shell. Next week my Boyfriend's boss will be painting my bug HOT PINK for cheap cheap cheap!So more pictures to come soon!























She will be pink soon and I'll name her Barbie

It's a beautiful replacement- can't wait to see it in pink- how much does it cost for a complete paint job (or are you getting it for free?)

Oh, no. Please PLEASE don't paint it pink! Oh noooo! Please! NOO!

That is a limited edition New Beetle!! It is BEAUTIFUL in it's own right! Do some accents, in the interior, but pleaseplease.....God no....don't paint a Turbo S pink!





(please don't hate me...I cannot imagine doing that to such a limited edition car. )

Best of luck with it!

It would be unusual to see a Turbo S in a non factory color. I have to admit I was hesitant to buy one due to the boring colors they come in. The performance was well worth the color sacrifice. What shade of pink do you have in mind?

Hot pink with a touch of silver sparkle in the clear coat.(just adds that sparkle in the sun) It will look like a factory paint job when done...

I agree with Deb that a limited edition should stay it's original color but I also agree with you that it's your car & should be the color you want it. Just be sure, very sure, you want to do it.I personally don't like grey cars but that is one shade I would take for sure. And know that no guy is ever going to want to drive your pink NB. Good or bad depends on your view. My hubby hates to drive mine & I only have pink flames

Long and short of it is, You got a TurboS. The TS is a hell of a car. You are so gonna love it. As far as the color, paint it any color YOU like. It's all a matter of opinion. And other people's opinion's don't matter. Enjoy and keep us posted..Much TS love.

I can't wait to see the real paint job as it sounds much cooler than the virtual one.

Sorry Kate but 2004NB was correct that was photoshop and that car only exists on the virtual .org
