I am thinking metallic black with metallic yellow highlights/two tone would look good...
Love that bug though, it is excellent. Saw a bug running around Melbourne a few years ago with the number plates 'INSECT', thought it was very appropriate lol

Been busy still here is the latest engine build an install, 2007 cc in a bug , the main difference is the car is semi auto because the owner is disabled.
