Ghost flames might look great on that car in a good Platinum pearl or something like that....maybe those bumper might work as well....what about pinstriping in a subtle color? What about getting your light covers tinted or smoked. Are they smooth or fluted? If there smooth you could get a nice light green tint or something!
I think the car looks great the way it is...if you do changes to it I would keep them very subtle.

Maybe some silver carbon fiber rock guards on the front fenders.

what about a pre '67 bonnet? I think that would clean up the shift rod hole and make the front end look more harmonious.
Just my 2c worth...

a lot of good suggestions. any major rework, like a new apron, is not an option. i am done with any more major rework on the car. it has been far too long already.
there are some less intrusive suggestions that might work. since i borrowed several design cues from Speedsters and 356 (and some yet to come), i thought about an early 356 bumper design for the bug (see attached), but the lines of the bug particularly around the wheel well don't seem to lend themselves to this too well. still open to more ideas. i can totally live with it this way. i think it looks really good. just seems to need a little something...very little.

Um...what about some carbon fiber or satin black headlight rings to bring in some contrast. A more far-out thought could be to put some grills in the hood or apron like the fun cup cars have. Yeah, it might not even look good, but I don't think I've seen it done before.

Ahhh...what about this? Cut some circular holes in the fenders where the little fender grills often are on VW's. Then run some brake ducts. That could be a good shot at having some form, as well as function involved.
