I looked at the first picture and thought 'I don't mind that' and then I saw the picture of the back.......

I think it should be here, due to the "choice" to do that to the suspension (even) destroys the cars original poor handling...so a technical "bad" choice gets it i for me:Why?
I just dont understand the logic of making a car undriveable to make it look "better"

Pretty sure I know the original owner of this that did most of the mods including the afterburners and morrettes and the whale tail ... the current owner bought it almost as-isThe whale tail could nearly work on it's own. However it seems impossible to find a picture of one with just a single spoiler. what are these people thinking.

That's exactly why it's badly modified you nugget!
You reduce the contact patch of the rear tires to a fraction of what could be considered safe.
If you want to lower it, fine. But when you do it such that it becomes a danger to other road users, I'm going to take issue with it.
Its got 30bhp you nugget, couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding FFS! They're not going to be losing the back end and the front will do the majority of the braking! On top of that, anyone who drives a Beetle modded as such knows what they've done and drives accordingly.

Spotted at the Castle Combe Summer Action Festival.
Also it's not an RS5, it's actually a 2.7 TDI.
Those god-awful kits are made by this company:Also it's not an RS5, it's actually a 2.7 TDI.

£3k+ for the bits! Funny thing is, I've seen about 4-5 cars online (mostly on classifieds pages) and every single one was a diesel. Beggars belief.

What with the number of Audi RS thefts these days I wonder what happens to your premium if you were to phone your insurance company and advise them that, amongst other things, you've added RS5 badges.https://xclusivecustomz.com/product/audi-a5-xclusi...

Rear fitment is ermm... illegal. Not to mention £2k for a ropey 5dr Mk3 is ridiculous

I saw a similarly modded early beetle on the motorway a couple of years ago, he was in the inside lane doing <50mph as he was struggling to keep it in the lane, was wandering all over the shop, tbh it looked fking scary.
Why?
I just dont understand the logic of making a car undriveable to make it look "better"
To be fair, 50mph is about flat out for an original Beetle anyway.Why?
