vpolo Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 wow those comps are bright !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossB Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Spy, it's hard to say really, as I've always ran stretched tyres to some degree, and without that stretch my wheels wouldn't have fitted. I think your best option is to have a search on here to find out what size spacers people have used to space out the standard Bathurst wheels, I know there are such threads but I can't remember what sizes people use off the top of my head, but it should give you a much better idea of what's possible when running no/minimal stretch, and then of course you can put that info into willtheyfit.com, and compare any potential wheels to it .Vpolo, they are a bit on the bright side! I actually wanted to get them redone in chrome powdercoat, or if not that then probably a slightly darker shade of red, but didn't have the monies so just had to leave them as they are.

RossB Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 No updates on the Lupo, but I do have a new lady in my life, she goes by the name of Lola and she's a '66 Beetle. I may have to raise her a little though as she destroyed a cats eye on the way home from picking her up , and generally the front beam regularly meets the road.

Huw Pugh Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 That looks gorgeous! Great colour and sits lovely. An early beetle is high on my list of "wants" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I would love a '61. Best year ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossB Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Cheers guys, it does sit well but I think I'm gonna have to bring the front up slightly, it's brutal! Hoping to clean it soon and get some better pictures It was repainted a couple of years ago in it's original colour which if I remember rightly is 'L366 Blau', can't seem to find anything out about it online though.

Stevemaster Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Blau = blue in German!! Maybe that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossB Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I know yeah Steve, there's no mention of it on pre67vw.com though, and I've had a search around online and can't seem to see any mention of that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevemaster Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Hmmm... that´s bad and what says your vw partner in uk?! Ask them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Here's Chris Carters bug which he recently sold for a colour comparison... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossB Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Love that bug, seen it at a few shows! I think it might be L633 Blue, if not it's very similar, and searches seem to bring up a lot of '67 models painted in it and mine was registered in late '66.
