change of colour.

Anyone got a blue car with different colour wings? I was thinking of getting the spray gun out and going for a change of colour.

I've decided to go black on the front wings,when they eventually fall off.

apparently the polo harlequin came about because during one of the big morotshows one of the production directors of VW in Gemany was boasting that thier production turn around was so slick that they could make a car of any colour and have it at the show in the morning, some smart ass suggested what you see above

Apparently they managed it too!

They actually did a beetle harlequin in about 1925 (ish) and they just updated it for some reason yet to be explained

They didn't make any beetles until the late 30's, but we get what you mean.

I actually drove a Polo harlequin for a couple of days as a courtesy car, the look on peoples face was a picture!
