Well... You'll definitely get some attention at a cruise night.

Not particularly enamored.  Sorry.

You just like it because of the tricolor roadway it's on.  ;D

In all seriousness, I'm not a huge bug fan, but that's a cool looking car, I can dig it.

Looks like a car "The Penguin" from Batman would drive.

Meh.

I prefer the original lines of the bug, meself.

A *ton* of work into those rides... chopping a VW top and having it look good is a tall order.

Not a fan of whitewalls, myself.

Some cool looks, though.  :)

Very cool!   You ever hear of the Fiat Topolino?  Check this one out...  AND it's Eyetalyan! (well, with a US heart!)

dig it! 
I would:
--swap the lamps for stacked hid's; 3 per side, slanted to match the bonnet line
--shorten the schnoz (speed bump hazard!)
--match the matte black from the bonnet to panels on the doors and 'trunk' lid
--put some bigger shoes on it.
--look at those bonnet louvers really hard before deciding how many to keep

That's a cage with style and character!

I'd totally drive that bug,

I love the old Citroens, but I prefer them unmolested.  I want a 2CV truckette so bad I can't stand it.
