Herbie Minor or Photoshop help!!

Post by WPR678B »

Does anyone have either a picture of a Minor with Herbie (the VW Beetle!) graphics or have the ability to mock up an image using photoshop or similar just to put my mind at rest! :o

The reason i ask is that i am in 2 minds about buying a Herbie Beetle and have a Snowberry white Minor that *may* look ok as a subsitute! :P :roll:

I would obviously prefer to stick with a Minor rather than join the *other* side! :wink:

There's a very good reason for that.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

Ask MoggyTech, after seeing his photo of grommit working on his car, I'm sure he can make something on photoshop for you.

I started, but lost patience with matching the graphics to the contours of the car :(

Herbie is surely unique to the Beetle - Minor would just look silly!

If it's one of the genuine film 'Herbies' it may have been heavily modified to do tricks like turning on the spot.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

Is that an offer to help me apply the graphics then? :D :wink:

I think that the hardest bit to get right would be the stripes to look straight on the bulge of the bonnet :-?
