Hey !
I do not know if I'm in the good part for a presentation. Moderators can change the part if necessary.
I'm Ludo from France and I have an 1957 oval beetle since 3 months. I have imported the car from Portugal, she was restored there about 15 years but I intend to restore it in a few years (the painting is not of good quality). For now, I improve the car because it has not been driven for a long time.
Here are some photos :

Thanks. I would like know name of this color. I was told "ca" or "ca" but I do not think it's original color. The "ca" is only for the standard beetle? I will know it when I will received the Volkswagen birth certificate  I hope polar silver color ! |

That's definitely not the original color. Looks like it was resprayed in Anthracite Grey.

Hello Ludo, nice car !
You should post your question about the front lid here, some people may help you to understand if the lid is year correct or not.

Oh je suis persuadé qu'il est d'origine finalement. Je me suis trop emballé avec cette histoire de capot arrière

The red seats will not change, in addition they were of the same color when it came out of factory I will just change the carpets and the roof sky like as originally. The exterior paint will be like at its factory output (polar silver color).
