Vw beetle headlight swap
 
Have you ever looked at a mid 2000s vw beetle front end and gone "damn those headlights look a lot like a 911". Well, I did. And seeing as how I like to mess with stuff that's perfectly working, I ordered a pair to see how they fit....

They don't. They're SO close. But they don't.

Anyway, that is all. Carry on.

Hah!

You know what's crazy though? They make a "gt500" front bumper for that generation beetle that looks just like a 996 gt2. I've already thought about it...it won't fit a 986 lol. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...80076e614a.jpg

I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry when I saw this Beetle for sale today:
