...for a 54 beetle. Must be rust-free on the inside and overall good condition.

Sorry Chris, I dont have a spare one but do you know where I could get a bonnet?
A friend of mine has some 54 spare and I will ask him.
Thanks

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Turbo54: you could ask Empi on this forum, he has 54 bonnet, but i dont like your chances of him parting with it! I need a genuine 54 bonnet too! I've got some 60's one right now...(raised badge section)

By the way would anyone care to let me know the going rate for one of these suckers?:blah
