Nose detail

 

Well, this was a simple. The chromed headlight bezels drop into the nose, and are fixed with a bolt screwed in from behind. The lenses simply clip into place. Indicators are glued in from behind. I used Contacta plastic cement, then some solvent, and still unsure how strong they would be, superglue run around the edge. I'd have added a belt and braces too if there had been space. 

All this attaches to the front of the bug with a big self-tapping screw, and a couple of bolts on the side. 

Not sure what to do about the numberplate. The supplied version says "Baja bug", appropriate, but I fancy something unique. Suggestions please.

Paint the mudguards in black and white/cream stripes and call it the Bah HumBug

The idea of using LV426 is alien to me (yes, I had to look it up), but PH 1L appeals. Bah humbug just makes me laugh! Thanks everyone!
