Nah......912's don't have "big power". This is running 105bhp and 850kg

The secondhand 911 door handles i acquired didn't have keys so last night I rekeyed them using the new keys that came with thebeetle new door handle kit (cost £22). The driver side 911 barrel is slightly longer so left out the last 2 tumblers. Moving on to the passenger side door handle, the 911 barrel is the same length as the beetle one. Local autolocksmith wanted £60 to supply/cut 2 keys to the 911 barrels. Yeah right.

Betle and 911 tumblers are interchangeable :wink:

i do like that, especially the blue roof and white hood with the Matt black. Any chance it will stay like that?

Looking really neat and tidy, particularly like the curved dash section under the column :)
