couple of updated pics of my bugeye

new wheels (XXR 527) and supertone horns,

 

They look very nice!

 

Sits really well on them, nice work!

 

That was a great choice of wheel mate! The wheels sit great in those arches!!! What size J are they?

 

cheers guys


they are the 17x8.25 et35 the only reason i didnt go for the 9" with an et20 is because i didnt want to do the arch work...... turns out the 8" did anyway had to raise the back an inch and roll the arches anyway lol

 

They are lovely, filling the arches nicely

 

Very nice looking Bug.

 

Nice...

 

Wheels look awesome! Are the new horns much different/louder, or did you do it for looks?

 

cheers, yea the horns are a totally different tone and loads louder as a chap in a r32 golf found out this morning when he decided to pull out in front of my

 

Stunning Bug, where did you get the horns from?

 

Looks really nice, think id black the mesh and remove the roof scoop thing.
Nice car though fella.

 

Very nice looking Bugeye

 

looks sweet fella good choice of wheel

what type of front splitter is that?

 

lovely

 

i dont normally like bugs, but that is a lovely looking car, its got proper road presence

 

Noooo dont remove it I was looking at getting one myself. I think they look great. Was going to ask how did you fit it? The ones I have seen just stick on but I'm not sure I would trust it

And would like to know also. Great job with the car looks amazing

 

cheers chaps

the roof scoop was on the car when i got it about 5 years ago and it has been bonded to the roof with mastic type stuff, proberly tiger seal. i have also stuck the roof spoiler on the same way

the horns i managed to find on Ebay after about 3 months of looking, i got them for £40 everywhere i was looking were more like £80 so i was pretty happy with that lol.

splitter was also a ebay find think i payed about 70-80 for that ages ago, its fibreglass aswell so pretty easy to repair when i bottom out lol

 

Thanks I might get one then if it's lasted 5 years that you know of and still stayed on. It was worring me that I would have paid to get one, then see a Fiesta drive past sporting it in its windscreen

 

Front splitter is from a Bug uk300.

 

Loving this bug.

I was just thinking of a wheel upgrade for mine, and was searching for pics of this wheel size to see how it looks, and perfect is the answer :-)

What size tyres are they? 225/45/17 or 235/45/17?

Thanks
Andy

 

Nice bug, one of the best I would say.
How easy is it to wire up the super tone horns.

 

That's a lovely looking bug bud

Has the rear bumper and side skirts got extensions of some kind? Never seen one look like that, looks lovely tho what ever it's had done

 

cheers the tyres are 225/45/17s, i had to do a little bit of arch work at the back to stop it rubbing but that was down to me not wanting to raise it up any more lol

 

yes mate they were easy to do just needed to make an earth cable thats it

 

cheers yeah they are an optional extra from subaru i think, managed to pick mine up off ebay not long after i got the car
