Hey drivers & designer,

here my carlettering contribution:

The new Beetle by VW is not the most convenient car for lettering, cause of the overall round shapes.
the company that did this stickering supposedly had 3D-computer models of most brands of cars. also the new beetle was in their archive.
i wanted the UNITED lettering to be all over, front to back, so that seemed easy.
nonetheless they had to cut up the stickers many times to make a perfect fit.

grz, donald [DBXL]
