I don't think so.... IMHO..

Not sure whether I can remember seeing that flash on VWs
the other one has an extra piece of trim towards the end..
the front of that trim doesn't look too good...!!

PS: I could have forgotten seeing one of those...
it was a long time ago... lol

Hi Dave, I have a trim, still in the box, which I found at a Melbourne wrecker in the late 80's that is different to all those in the book on your link. I'll see if I can dig it out and take a photo to ad to the trim thread. Can't remember if it has a brand on the box or not???? been awhile since I looked at it.

I could live with the trim on the top Beetle but that middle
one, my opinion ugly. Can see why you don't see that one much, maybe ugly is a bit harsh lets go with unique!
