Thats what i thought but the guy said he dont know if the bug has been mapped or the bhp.
Mine has been mapped.
So i just presumed they were similar.

I prefer your car to be honest but the decision should be yours as you have to live with your choice,so make one.and let us all know.

No,stick with your own.you know the car and its quirks plus it looks a million times better than that bug.

probably stick with my own then,
did think the bug would look good painted black or white, stick some morettes on, splitter, and rota grid drift wheels.
cheers for the feedback.

The classic looks better and will accelerate quicker due to being lighter



Keep the classic mate its a better around car and if the situation arises, it would be easier to sell as its in one of the best colours

Bugs do feel heavier and not quite the raw feeling of a classic , but that's about it
Bugs are a nicer place to sit in and real world performance is the same as a classic when both are modded
And like I say you can change the look of a bug front end ,
Tbh I don't think the grill and side pieces do that bug any favours

The looks of a bug have grown on me over the years and with some money they can look very very nice. However they need quite a few quid throwing at them to look nice and in my opinion silver is not a good colour for them. It'll never be a looker in that colour, polishing and turd come to mind....lol...

With the right car to start with and a few quid you can achieve this...

That looks spot on , I've never been a fan of silver cars full stop , but ironically both my scoobys have been silver

White or black for a bug are the only colours imo.

You can change it , it's not set in stone
You've seen one classic you've seen em all
IMHO you can make new age models more individual

Like it has been said earlier you know the car you own and swaping is a big gamble imo
