Very nice job, but in all honest, doesn`t look like it needed it. (take that as a compliment.)

thanks man... it actually was pretty dirty. i washed the wheels yesterday because they dust very badly. the paint needed a good polish and a claying for the bugs up front.

Yeah, I`m with Steve. The during photo looked no different to me. I like VWs though, and yours looks like it`s in top shape. Now, tint those windows! Is that legal over there?

I definately see the difference.

PS: Tints may not be legal there. (Illegal in Austria/Germany)

ahah thanks guys... there were a couple things bothering me so i went to town on the car and spent alot of time on it. those wheels need alot of upkeep.



the mirrors are painted gloss black. i think its a retro thing with how the original rabbits used to be.
