these are some photos i've taken of curby, my 2001 silver 2.0 gls beetle. not bad for a car with (now) 102,000 miles! he got his name from being curvy and always having to park at the curb (he now has a driveway). dorky, i know! i haven't done many "mods" (modifications) to him, but so far, i've added the following:

  • amber fog lamp covers

  • blue/silver VW valve stem caps

  • VW OEM splash guards

  • stubby antenna

  • vinyl eyelids

  • smoke license plate covers

  • newbeetle.org decals

  • tow hook cover

  • black lower bumper parts

  • grab bar leather covers

  • armrest beverage holder

  • black leather shift boot
