Smile '05 New Beetle Cabrio (Black&Tan)

Hi!

I'm quite a newbie to Beetles, but here it goes.

I got hold of a '05 Beetle Cabriolet, black with tan top, and I would like to show you some photos of it.

I found out, after seeing a hand full of used Beetles, that the headlights tend to open (the seal is broken).
So I really need to swap it, and I was thinking of putting this ones:

https://www.dectane.de/HEADLIGHTS/He...5--chrome.html

Didn't found any pictures of a Beetle with it yet!

And finally I would love to change the bonnet and trunk logo (to chrome ones, not a sticker like the ones I have now). Can you guide me to where can I order such an item?

Thanks for your time, and wishes of a really good 2012 to all!
Bye!
A2day

I've realize it now, that this NBC is even rarer... it has the 1.4 litre engine... how (not) cool is that?

I think it will still be a very nice car to own!
And in fact, Beetle is ALWAYS cool

Old aircooled Beetles can survive with 25 HP (ok, they are not so heavy) quite all right...

In my opinion, it is mainly a question about having a right attutude of driving Smile & happy kilometres!

PS. nice new pics!

I will for SURE. I'm also a forum person. I believe sharing experience can assist everybody to take the most out of our cars. I've created a couple of car clubs/forums myself, so I know how important it is to share and help.

Looking forward to expand my participation (next Wednesday I will fill the topic with photos!!!!)

Cheers,
A2day

The "bug" is here!!!!

Finally! It was a really long day, so, no time for good photos (only mobile ones) to save the moment for posterity!

I keep the "bug" well escorted by his younger brother, the Golf Variant (or Jetta Sportwagen, in US).

Looking forward to go outside, take to top down and also some photos! (it was sunny and 20 degrees today.... that's 68 F... in January... I don't know if it Global, but its warming for sure!)

Cheers,
A2day

Looking good A2day! I wish you would send some of that warm weather here to me in the US (Tennessee). It's not been above 40 degrees in several days.
