Is your Beetle a Super Beetle 1302S, Semi Automatic, or a Standard Beetle 1300.
You can get new beaver panel/ rear apron from VW supplies places. They would be about $200. Being a welded panel part of the body of the car, it is preferable to get a new panel as removing a welded panel from another car would often damage it to the point that it is not economical.

The CIP1 parts website shows the rear aprons for $100 US, but the shipping costs would make that quite a bit higher, and not good if you ordered the wrong one for your Beetle.
