Martin Botts 1303 from a few posts down is what I would describe as a typical 'German' car:
 If you look closely, you will see its almost stock on the outside, but the quality of the built oozes off from it... Like I said before, german-style is what its about, not german-'Look'

Actually when I look closely, I see something more sinister than pea-shooters for an exhaust ...
 ... like mine ... for the time being.  Wally makes a good point which is my way of saying I agree with him.  Oh, and I also noticed the "VW 914" within the license plate.

When it's done right, to me it looks almost as if someone had unbolted the body of a Turbo S or even a Formula 1 racecar and replaced it with VW sheet metal! With the right rake they look as though they are speeding while setting still.
If you're like me and dig "Alternate History Fiction", whose to say this isn't the plan that Dr. Porsche had when he designed the Type 1. After all the early 356's had a lot in common with thier VW "Family Transport" counterparts! Had the Air Cooled beetle stayed in production in Germany maybe some chasis' would have found their way to a performance coach builder. Probably a topic that should be brought up on another thread but, could you imagine going down to your local VW dealer and Buying a pre-tuned, turbo, Porsche powered Type 1?

Thanks, but my car is actually very near stock (except for the wheels and wider fenders) on the outside!
It shows just how little is needed...and also shows that a german'look' is more about under the skin than exterior 'looks'. Its more subtle IMO and has some qualities of a 'sleeper' also. But your right also when you say that 'wheels maketh the car' (BTW before the 18", I actually had the same wheels as Martins car, only before he did  )
