Almost daren't show you our Cali!

[hls28]

Hello,
It's great to be here, finally owning a Cali. Only taken us about 18 years!! Our Cali was the demo vehicle hence it looking different! It's registered white but the dealer painted it two tone berryl green, influenced by VW Beetles from the 1960's. They added the Schmoov wheels, then the bike rack, side rails & mud flaps. It has quite a few optional extras. I did wonder about posting as some people were critical of it in the 'two-tone' thread but tbh I love it. We all have different taste, which is a good thing, and I certainly don't expect everyone to like it!
I've found posts helpful and interesting, so thanks.

Nothing wrong with the 2 tone paint job. Its the wheels that are the divisive feature IMHO. But welcome aboard. We are a very inclusive club and welcome everyone including the Buzzes.

 

[Meoncoast]

Honest reply. Love the 2 tone colour. Hate the wheels. Welcome, and enjoy.

 

[drdaveboycali]

i like it and the wheels , how is the ride im assuming theyre 20's

 

[Sad]

I think they're the coolest wheels I've ever seen on a Cali

Absolutely love that Cali, how’s luck are you guys. Congratulations.

What are the wheels called, I want some?

Thanks very much for that. You don’t happen to know where the wheel nut covers are sourced do you?

Here, then paint to suit

It is one thing to have VW Crafter steel wheels, but completing the image by having VW Crafter centre caps is everything!

This forum is just the best isn’t it?

Thanks.

I’ve just bought an HVLP spray gun system so I should be able to have some tremendous fun.

I like it.
Volkswagen Cali colours are quite dull at the minute. This is a real head turner

 

[Californication69]

Welcome aboard !
I sat in your lovely California, in August last year, whilst I contemplated buying it from Rob at Droitwich. He wouldn’t budge on price.
So ordered a black 4M instead.

Lovely colour, awful wheels

 

[Perfectos]

That’s one Schmoooooooove looking unique Cali

Proper retro Cal look

I hope you’re going to do some shows, far too many boring factory colour calis out there, just goes to show what can be done with a little imagination which has sadly been lacking from Factory colour offerings and wheel options for a long time.

 

[Daggartukvan1]

Great looking California and amazing wheels - love it!

This was in the show n shine at Busfest last year. Nice to see something a bit different, it’s grown on me, really like it.
Congrats @hls28 on a stunning looking California. Enjoy!

Looks fantastic, love it

 

[OxonCalifornia]

Cool Really Cool! ..be proud, my friend!

 

[Nicholas Hatton]

Love it . I also have a 1965 Split Screen, the wheels and two-tone on your Cali definitely give a classic vibe.

Second that.
Does the OP post and replies win the “Marmite” award?

Thanks very much for that. You don’t happen to know where the wheel nut covers are sourced do you?

Look like standard 17" steel nut covers/centres painted to suit. Find them on Ebay or VW at a price.
