Gloria -- 2001 NB GLX

[LOVE BUG]

Hey all! These are pictures from Gloria's first photo shoot. No modifications have been done yet. Any changes to her will be posted








I'm pretty sure her color is "isotope green" but these pictures do not show what her color is at all.

She looks really different in person! The pictures do make her look white/pale yellow. I am currently reading forums about painting her interior. I'm really nervous but I want it done!

Isotope Green, I do believe you are right!

Beautiful color, I have only seen that color a few times! Congrats!

Thank you! I'm wondering what color would look good with the isotope green... I'm really considering doing parts of my interior hot pink. I kind of want accents on the outside of my car a different color, I just don't know what would look good.

Why would you want to ruin the intertior with HOT PINK? I've only seen this color once or twice. I don't think it'd be best to change it from original, especially if you want to sell it.

I love this colour. I saw a vert with this colour on it last night in for service at the dealership.

In person my car looks more lime green than it does in the picture. I've always wanted a lime green beetle with pink interior. Two of my favorite colors. I held hot pink things up to my car and I liked the way it looks together. I don't plan on re-selling my car so I don't really care if it affects the "value" of it.

Nice car

P.S it's not a GLX, your speedo only goes to 140, and glx's only came with the 1.8t in the USA, which have a 160mph speedo and a speed activated spoiler on the back...

Isotopes game in GLS form only i'm pretty sure

Love the car

Yes you're absolutely right, it is a GLS. I made a typo Note: the X key is right below the S key. Still never made it around to editing it. Quite a coincidence though that there is a model GLX and I happened to make that typo.

I got the one from this morning! Very kind. Still dying to see that thread you made, it's not letting me view it .

I still envy everyone who gets to drive a new beetle right now


Everytime my brother and I are in the car and he sees a yellow one he says

"Hey look that one still runs"

Yeah it's quite a confusing color. In pictures she looks light yellow or white. At night she looks white but in the day time she looks green!

Started working on Gloria's interior, only the small parts for now as a trial. Still not sure about the color yet so we'll see how it looks. Pictures will come later.

Wow this is a nice pic of WW. I Love to drive WW..

Thanks for sharing such a nice pic.

[LOVE BUG]

Here's a picture of the parts we painted. I took it with my cell camera so the pictures don't do it any justice. I put them in my car and they look great! Still have to take a picture of them in the car, but here is one for now.

[LOVE BUG]

Today I got some issues with my car fixed up thanks to the great suggest from kellyyysayss! I met with her in Burlington, NJ and went to the VW dealer to get my car fixed. $455 later (not including the new tires I got for my car today) I'm here and really satisfied with the work they've done. Gloria is running much better!

Soon I will be replacing spark plugs, wires and fuel filter. I'm really nervous to do these things because I don't want to mess anything up! Here are some pics from today!

Kelly, Me and our Beetles!

That's all for now. I still have to get around to taking a picture of the start of Gloria's neon pink interior.
