[Phatboy]

Looks great! Cant wait to see it after "surgery". I like where you are headed Pulgamovil. Respect

[PhoenixRising]

Very good lookin' Bug...Nice!

[Pulgamovil]

When I bought My bug I really wanted a Green one with leather cream colored seats, I wanted to put wood imitation interiors to match but Alas! none could be found and the Dealer gave a a could not refuse price on my Sport GLX so I began moding it right away...

Some of the mods underhood are:

A neuspeed Billet front stress Bar.
A K&n replacement filter.
A samco intake.
A custom hood scoop and I changed the interior liner.
Painted the engine cover.
Put an Oil cooler
a sensor for water, Oil presure, and oil temp. (autometers).
I painted also the front lip and installed Clear corners with HID Xenon by Philips/Hella.

You can see the hood scoop that took forever to make properly because I wanted the
sides of the scoop to mimic the curves of the hood, I did not like the scoops that disect
the hood with straight lines, (round for a reason remember?)

Also I have a wins West front spoiler that will be gone in les than 15 days and chrome rings around the fog lights and silver mesh in the air vent.

Luchas it that the next mod will do nothing to my bernt hood spoiler nor the Euro Emblem.

Here is one from the side:

After a lucky event I was able to get genuine RSI OZ superturismos for the Bug
Those are magnesium alloy with a 18X 9.0 and shod with Goodyear F1 tires 235 40 18.

Charactere side skirts, changed the mirror for 2004 standard with working blinkers.

Also I put a roof spoiler because I hated the weird boom boom that the sun roof makes when drivind at 35 to 45 mph.

A small Tt antenna, a Wings west rear spoiler you can see the euro clear corners and the G2 altered altezas.

Luck has it that th eonly accident I have had is one 2 weeks ago when I hit a tire in the track, only a minor scratch that buffed out easily but mug BUG has not been in any kind of accident bending kind.

In the backgound you can see my 17 inch wheels that I use for track events with Michellin Sport 1 tires 235 40 17...... those wheels look incredible on video!!

[Pulgamovil]

Vented and slotted brakes and Coilovers....

[blaquea8]

I want your hood!!!!
Your Bug looks AWESOME!

[Pulgamovil]

Thanks a Lot...

Here are the superturismos with the vented autotech brakes. Originally I wanted Brembos or ECS brakes but Even the original brakes with good pads and vented/slotted discs out brake the tires, and they cool down quite fast so I did not change them, I spent the money on coilovers.

Here you can see the painted calipers but still no coilovers so the car is still high

[Pulgamovil]

Here is some of my fav. picts

[GGKauten]

Wow thats beautiful!!!

[MAC]

Its a great looking car and live is awesome...I miss mine

[Walter]

i really like those VWR rims, they are much nicer than the normal superturismos that OZ sells or even the Aristos (R32)

[Rich]

Very nice. Looks like you have some window tinting. Is that a bluish tint? Any info on tint or percentage tinted? New York has some restrictions. If tinted, did you tint above also?

Thanks for tinting info.

[phope]

very nice - any problems from the wheels protruding from the arches?

[Pulgamovil]

YEp my tires propute because off the crazy offset 12mm !!! anyhow that will be a problem from the past this Nov 7 when the RSI kit is installed (its wider by 3 inches).

My tires as of now make the car very dirty when rain comes....

Now the tint in the Bug is 35% all around (well except the windshield).
