Hi all

wondering if any one can give me some advice about panel interchangeability for my 1974 L bug.
looking to get some spare panels etc to undertake some some rust repair
are bettle gaurds and doors interchangeable from standard beetle to superbug ?

I know the bonnet is different

thanks

rear guards are the same

Front guards are 1302 ( S Bugs) or 1303 ( L bugs ) only

Pretty sure all late model doors will fit

All late model engine lids will fit

Futue te ipsum!!!

the differences with doors are cosmetic but yes all 68 on doors fit

the 70 on doors have the chrome strips about 10mm higher and the 73 on doors use different style arm rest mounts
