Jim
car looks great
Phil here in South Aussie also has a white one and I think Shonko nicknames it the blank one or its name might even have come from Phil himself

Cheers mate, it is actually a very pale blue - it looks white in bright light, and blue indoors, or on dark days (plenty of those here !)

It is a VW new beetle colour, Vapor Blue

The car is called Nena - don't ask ! I just always name the cars as female (previously owned a Belinda, Vanessa and Finley !)

The song is sung by another Nena - so it seemed the logical choice !

 Wink A beautifully presented vehicle you have done well, I hope my sports or Nova clone looks half as good upon it's second rebuild in 28 years by the same owner. Do not know how to post photos of progress thus far sorry; your car is inspiring and if it was not over 40 Deg, C in the shade for the 10th day straight I would be in the shed working on my Old Girl. ( The Eureka OK, just to clarify who and what was involved.)
                                                             All the best; David.

Looks fantastic. I like the wing mirrors - the ones on my F4 are sadly past their "use by date" - do you mind telling me what you've used?

Cheers for the kind words.

Mirrors were a relatively cheap option from a kit car supplier here:

http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/turbo-racing-mirrors-m11tb-755-p.asp

They work well, in terms of adjustability, but look massively better for being colour coded. I also added blind spot stick on mirrors to help with the obvious blind spots,

Hope this helps,

Thanks sooooo much - I can't tell you how much time I've spent surfing the net (not to mention the money wasted buying mirrors that wouldn't fit or didn't suit the car) looking for replacement mirrors. This site looks great. I really appreciate your help.

They mainly deal online or over the phone - they do attend most kit car shows also with an amazing selection of parts.

They do dispatch worldwide but the online shop doesn't do international shipping costs - they will e-mail quotes though. As I understand it they do have a 'shop' you can visit, but it is best to phone ahead as not always open.
