Enjoy

The rear camber absolutely ruins the look of it.

Personally I think these things are hideous in every way. They should have scrapped re-designing / producing it altogether, the modern versions look just as bad.

Each to their own though!

Yeah the camber is like that. He is a really nice guy but is a non conformist so he does what ue wants because he can, not to get any reaction. It's soon to have airbags fitted.

Cars with excessive camber generally look ****e, along with overly lowered ones usually with oversized wheels.

so he's a non-conformist that's running stupid camber like most of the dubbing scene?

PS other than the camber, I think its pretty awesome.

Due to the way Beetles are lowered on the rear automatically gives you the camber....The "kids" now-a-days think neg camber is a new thing, the air cooled boys have been doing it for donkeys years.

Is looking forward to "stance" being an MOT fail .... these feckin things are dangerous enough as it is without pointing the wheels in funny directions!

Not a fan!

I think they look good, although I'd never drive one myself.
