The chop helps, now if you would lay the A pillars back a bit and stretch the doors a few inches you would really be on to something.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

VW found that the scoops restrict the cooling air needed for the engine... so scoops are a nogo.VW power... More expensive than ever!

Once the decal goes it's dead, the bummer is the paint underneath will have a deeper color than the rest of the car.
The look you have with the paneling & all has been done tho. Just in lime green. In the years I have been lookin for a 411/412 square I have never seen one chopped, & the pic just looks mean.
I'd definately give some thought to surface mount signal lamps tho, they ruin the lines. Also there are probably some 1 piece headlight housings with similar angles that could be modified to fit in place of the dual 7" rounds.I dig ALL cars, old & new, whether they were hammered out of american iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just my opinion.
