Definately needs lowering and maybe a lick of silver (not red or any other shitty colour) paint of the rear drums.

I would buy some standard 4 pot springs (looks to be on 6 cyl ones).

Maybe get some 15" BBS?

looks about 100mm -reckon those tyres might be lower profile then was intended for the alloy?

also get a spray can and some masking tape and colour code those bumpers...

tyres are 195/50/15 do you think the wheels would look better in black as they were only £60 complete with excellent tyres and cant afford bbs at the mo the misses already thinks im spending to mutch money on an old manky car as she calls it some people havent got a clue

Lose the shiney bits round the windows, sell the wheels to a vauxhall owner and put the 15" bbs on it.

Hahaha tell me about it, my girlfriend thinks as it is not a new soft top beetle its not good and just because its older than 4 years it must be a bucket. You should've heard her when i first bought it. She actually thinks it's worse then my Rover 214 :cry: :cry: :cry:
