please remove those hubcabs. If its "redbaron" I think you should go pure basic red.
The car is antisectioned. Shocked

and white areas + decals like here:

Oh right Olli, i see what you mean now. Yes i have lowered the suspension to a comfortable height to allow for four people and speed bumps, then i extended the front wings, sills, rear wings and rear panel to make it look a little lower.
I,m thinking of Satin finish WW2 German Army Field Grey paint, with gloss black wheels and bumpers. Then i will mask out a giant IRON CROSS on the rear quarter and paint that in gloss black or a slightly darker grey. Polish the chrome and alloy parts and try and fit Sprintstar VW rims Cool

.
Malte, yes mate i will stick a few extra pictures on here. Please note that i haven't removed the overiders on the front bumper yet, and i havn't fitted my rear bumper either. These will be done very soon.

Straingly i like this car and think its not as bad is i thaut it would be.
one thing i recon i would make a bit differant. I would make the rear door longer and the rear lights lower so the bank lokes olmast the same as original. Do you know what I meen??? (sorry bad english) Laughing

Duckman, thanks for the interest. Yes i was going to extend the bootlid and fit azu type lights on the rear panel, right at the bottom edge. Who knows, i might do later on.
Your English is ok, do you have any ideas what colour would look good on my car????

Well, i gotta say, you got me thinking man.
I also have the thing, i got 2 kids, growing up, i need the car to be rideable. This is acctually kinda neatly done.

I am thinking 2 sidepipes on each side, through the metal. Only thing, perhaps worth a try, is narrowing the rearfenders, they look like a fat girl in a to large skirt, so to say.

Also nice way of getting the front indicators on, like that.

Keep up the work, even though it is not everybodies taste, i think it is reall ynot bad of a try-out.
