what about the papers (vehicle registration) if you wanna drive it legally as a daily car..? and will the car be considered as a fully electric vehicle (for the tax relief 😉) ?

The rear looks a bit lower than the front.

What's the color name for bug just the color I want please

[@awsomeassistantthebest1825]

What might scare me is all that weight and no update breaking. I think I would put some tipe 3 wider drums in back and disc in front and porsche 5 lug

It weighs 30kg heavier more than the original car and has all of the original servo braking, plus regen braking from the motor. So it stops on a dime.
