The Bean got a makeover! PICS

I have had the Bean for a month now and today I had an appointment for him to go into Ralph Schomp for some service. When he was delivered he did not have his bottom door seals so they had to put them on. So, while I was talking to the MA I asked if they had any cars on the lot with a chrome bonnet scoop. Well, they had a car in that they were detailing so they allowed me to walk back with them and checked it out. I loved it so much that I asked to add one to Bean. It looks fantastic!!

Here is the old bean: (a whole month old, lol)



And this is the new and improved Bean with the shiny chrome bonnet scoop:

I like it !!

Oh... and tell your neighbors that YOUR yellow is much better than THEIR yellow. I see you made them move that ugly thing before you took the "after" pic.

ha ha ha - no problem with me passing that message on! I keep telling them that it's time to upgrade to a MCS!

I'm a big fan of chrome - heck, all real Americans are.
That chrome nose looks great on your Mellow Yellow!

I like the chrome with the new yellow. I also have a chrome scoop on my '05 purple haze MCS. I've been told it adds about 2.0 horse power!
