This woman in the pink blouse and black tights backed into my bug last wednesday..
The two witnesses said that they saw her texting and looking at her phone while she was backing up...

So now my bug is at the body shop only after 6 months ago it left the body shop and i had taken delivery of her.

The woman has progressive insurance and she was at fault.
Police gave her the ticket.

Here is another look

So it will need the following repairs and replacement.

Replace Decklid
Replace Decklid Light housing
Replace Rear Bumper
Replace Bumper Overriders
Replace Towel bar
Replace Bumper Brackets
Replace Hella 500 Driving lights
Replace 1300 Emblem
Replace Decklid Lock
Replace Dual Quietpack muffler

Repair Left fender from dents and scratches
Repair Right Rear fender from dents and scratches

Purchase 2013 Maseratti Turismo Blue Oceano # 69982500
Spies Hecker - Base Coat 1 gallon
Spies Hecker - High Solids Clear Coat 1 gallon

I believe as does the body shop that the metallic paint is not easy to blend or match so it would be best to just paint the whole car so it will be uniform

Aw man, that sucks. You've done a great job with this car, such a shame to be dinged up by such a stupid, totally avoidable accident.
People just gotta have those phones 24/7!
the dent in the engine lid will hopefully just pop out.

This makes me want to cuss. Your car looks great. Sorry to hear this.

Maybe she can text a friend to ask a friend to see if they have a friend to see if the car can cost that much to repair. Sad story, hopefully it turns out for you. There is a thread in the type 3 section about a girl and her car. I think she goes by vwgirl, sad story with some issues you might run into.

I bought a ceramic coated silver mufflers..

The header is black but it is just rust inhibitor.. some California Law thing

My bug is blue and although the headers wont really show on a type 1 i thought of making them look good

The color wraps are: Dark Blue, Silver Chrome, Titanium or white

Here are the JPipes and these are not mine but it is to have an idea

Hi, Jewish Guy, wondering if u still happy with ur purchase.

I will like to upgrade my sound system and I'm considering ur set up as it sounds great.

Might considering a different head unit as I would like to have Bluetooth, but it has to be kenwood as that is my favorite brand.

Do u still consider the wiring kit is enough?

BTW, your bug is my favorite so far. Love the color combo and if I decide to paint mine it would be similar color including interior.


Thanks.

Check out this album i made this morning of my bug . I was inspired by a 2013 Maseratti Turismo Blue Oceano with Couio interior.

From Page #4 of My Build .. I lost my images so here i am resubmitting them

The body shop says that my car should be ready this friday.. so in the meantime i have been putting together all the components together so when the car is at Marshall Painter's shop for the final build.

Just have to paint the small panels like the following dash pieces where the gauges will go... not an easy task to cut the grilles but i recommend anyone who is doing this to use a Dremel rotary tool and some small cutting discs.

Trimming the LH grille to accept the VDO 3 3/8" Tach

Here is lining things up and some more trimming to do

Here is the finished product.. now to take the tach off and prep the grille for paint. I recommend putting a piece of hard plastic like the ones werksberg sells to seal the back properly and limit gas fumes.

This is what it will look like with the chrome moulding pieces in it..

Here is the right side panel with the fuel and oil pressure gauge

Now ready to sand and Paint
