Default Isotope Color Concept

My wife's 2001 New Beetle GLS 1.8T used to look like this:


When I had the pleasure of driving the car, I always felt like I was getting funny looks for some reason. I wanted to go sportier. She always said the only wheels she would replace the daisys for were Take 5s from the NB color concepts. When I found a set (with snap orange inserts) for sale, I knew it was meant to be A few weeks and some paint later, I present what I believe to be the first ever Isotope NB color concept:







It's not really a color concept since there aren't color matched interior pieces, but close enough from the outside. I feel as though I'll get fewer funny looks when driving, though the color is going to keep them from going away forever.

Your new wheels look great - although I loved the daisy wheels too! I'm girling up my bug in hopes that then my hubbie won't want to drive it

Thumbs up Perfect!

Wow, what a difference! Gotta love those Take5s. VW didn't just use them on the CCs. They used them on a number of SEs, including the Domingo and my '05 Dark Flint Edition NBC. Impossible for them not to look good on just about any NB!

Now, some custom CC seats?

Digging those Take5's but I have to admit, I have a soft spot for the Daisy wheels. In fact if I got a yellow Bug I would have definitely shelled out for the Daisy wheels. But since I got a Snap Orange Color Concept, the Take5's are just too sharp to replace! I have never seen an Isotope in person, can you take more shots please? I'd love to see the interior!

Yeah, looks of envy! Custom black and Isotope CC seats (the door and rear side panels might be a little tougher), and the correct interior Isotope colored parts. Killer! Consider!
