[MOC/MOD] 40252 Mini beetle Mod

[Tezclatipoca]

Hello,

I've recently got the mini beetle promotional set but when I finished assembling it my children imediately noticed there is no room for a minifig in this car.

My son wanted to try to put a minifig in it but it was hopeless (at least for him; he is only 3) then I came around and decided the Mini beetle will have a minifig on board !

And Voila ! here is what I managed to build without alterate too much the original design but with just enough space to fit a minifig sitting inside the car !

Any comments or criticisms are welcome. Thanks !

Fine job on this mod. I wanted one of these when LEGO was offering it. My order came up with a stupid police helicopter instead, so I scrapped the order.  

Maybe with the online instructions we can build these Beetles in different colors then.

Thank you !

Probably some other colour beetles could be great. Or perhaps make 6 studs large cars instead of the old style 4 studs ones. This is something to try.
