The car looks great!

Don't be afraid to detail that engine bay. I just detailed mine for the first time after owning the car for 2 years. It looks so much cleaner, and it feels good to drive a clean car, lol ...

Yea the guy had just put it on before I bought her. I love her with the sporty wing.. Maybe that is why I love her so much and we get along because we are both sporty.. lol.. I did clean up the engine bay some because I am cleaning out the engine slugg (cant spell) so there were a couple of spots that I was wondering if it was leaking so we cleaned it up so that I can keep an eye on it.. But she is getting there..

Amazing how nasty they can get. I think you're right to, that not many are ever changed. Ours in Sunshine is due.

Tagging new beetles, taking Smurfette on an extended road trip. You're getting into the new beetle groove
