Does anybody know how easy is it to turn your bug into a blob? i have both wings a bonnet, bumper, lights etc so is it just a case of cutting the slam panel out of a blob and getting it fitted into my bug then just bolting all the panels etc on? has anyone any experience of this? its just the front end im looking to change. help....

 

Yup as easy as that, will need a bit of trimming here and there to make everything fit flush.

 

ok thanks so now to find a slam panel!

 

Chargespeed do a conversion kit mate , I think I have one in my workshop if you're interested I'll have a look ,

Did you ever complete this project mate ??

 

Yeah, same here, did you ever do it as im looking at doing the same over the next few months

 

Hi guys yes i did have it done! it all went well. i got a slam panel had it welded into position. i think abit of tailoring went on but it looks amazing the only prob i had was converting the looms to except the blobs lights but was soon overcome by auto electrician. the car looks great blob eye front (wr1) and bug eye rear end! the best bits of each of the yrs imo! pls contact me if you have any questions

 

Ive got loads of questions lol

I will post them here so anyone else wanting to do it can read

1) Roughly how much did the conversion cost
2) Was it just a slam bar you needed or did you need the light mount bars too
3) How long did it take
4) What mods did you need for the headlights
5) Any pics

 

it cost me 2k but i had the car painted at the same time. i did use the light bar off a blob also. it took a wk. but thats including paint. i will send you some pics shortly. i see your not far from me (oxford) you can come have a look if you like!

 

Looks like its not a cheap mod then ??!! have seen a few done thou so guess there is a few who still think its worth doing.
