The VW's are poular here in the UK, most modders, aside from hot-rodders, go down the VW path. Bettles are a favourite, but people also go for the Golf (Rabbit), and the Polo's. A lot of the hot-rod accessory website are based on the whole Volkwagen thing aswell, like the German flags and the Iron Crosses. There is a garage that mods VW's, they are helping me out with suicide doors on my Ford Cortina, check them out:

and for your VW (or your hot rod) accessory needs, check out:

So, to conclude, VW's are cool, but not as cool as my Cortina...
