Aircooled VW South Africa

So..after waiting 4 years and 7 months since i bought this beauty She finally made it down to PE from up north and we are able to give Her the attention she deserves..
I have decided to add a bit of bling just to brighten things up a bit and we restored all the mechanicals
We will add some more likeable interior options in the new year.. The patina however stays exactly like it is !
I have put My most favorite shoes on her ... and we are considering some cosmetics in the form of a cyclops light !
have a look at the pics and give some input regarding that option please ! We are still debating whether it will add or detract from the look if we add the cyclops !??

Such a lovely bus Man

I personally prefer the crusty wheels and minus that evil eye on the roof

hmmmm although with that shiny new trim, the evil eye kinda fits ....

Not sure now - but anyway this rat and Sean's '59 patina bus will make a very cool pic together

I like the cyclops eye "eye"dea !!!!!

Show some pics with the new wheels on without the light.

Love it!

Nice

Saw this bus whilst being dolled up.
You will need to "upgrade" security on it ,......it's going to have PLenty! Fans.

Quite prepared to part with certain parts of the anatomy to become a much closer friend

That Patina looks amazing Jacques. I have a dislike towards mag wheels and suspension drops, so feel the mags spoil it. The cyclops light is interesting, but again feel it doesn’t belong there. Those wheels just make it look like every second bus in the UK.

Keep it more original man. It looks so cool with that Patina and Deluxe trim

Agree with everything above.

Sorry but original still suits it best.

No, its just going to look like every other bus in the UK. Lowered with mag wheels......

Don't forget, no Patina bus is the same, they are all unique.

Spending too much time in Thailand...

Split,
Love the light.
Not the wheels.
Lowered yes pleez
This is one great bus.

I'll happily take over those wheels if everyone is hating on 'em

How would it look if you make the other two light "popeye style" as well?
