Look what's followed me home now. Still working on a name, but this is Elwood's new garage mate. #1304 of 1500 Final Editions.

Congratulations! It is bittersweet to me, 'tho.

I think the black roof is pretty cool.

Yeah - looks like VW finally figured out that we like our roofs black and are starting to paint them that way on this year's special models.

Congrats!!!

Sharp car. Though IMO, I think they should have done more for the "Final Edition"

Maybe you should name it FE 1304 lol j/k

Congrats on the new bug. Guess this is one you don't want to mod since it's a rarity now.

when I opened this thread, my stomach dropped.
it's tough to believe they won't be making nb's anymore.

on a lighter note, I'm jealous and I want it.

Beautiful! I love the color... and the black roof. Did they do anything special with the interior for these? From what I can tell, the leather on your steering wheel looks much nicer than mine, but that could be because mine is almost 10 years old.

Thanks for all the kind words gang.

I'm still working on a name and a license plate( I don't own anything without some sort of specialty license on it).

What really got me going to get one was my buddy Darby, he ordered one and without knowing it til it was confirmed from the dealer that his is coupe #1498 of 1500. 1499 going to VW Mexico and 1500 to Germany. So when I thought about how special his car is, along with his 03 Ultima Edicion air cooled Beetle, I figured I might as well add one to the fleet.

As for mods, I don't think this car is going to see any. I did add an extra NB plate frame I had and a vapor blue vase. If anything maybe european turnsignals. That's it.

The Final Editions are beautiful cars but it's so sad that they are the last of the breed. Take real good care of it and shoot more pics.

Nice!

You have quite a stable Albert. Still have the Bullett Stang?

Hope to see the FE soon! Maybe in Robinson at the QS&L.
