JustKampers Australia have possibly the best online buying experience in Australia and reliable quality parts.

I have used Mick motors in Brisbane for years..

Vintage Vee Dub supplies in Sydney for Top Quality parts..

Just Kampers in QLD Das Dubber parts
Vollks.com.au has a web site, is in Sydney..

If using CIP1 or Wolfsburg west , AIR COOLED.NET
CB PERFORMANCE.. or any of the many many VW shops in the USA..
You need to know that models and specifications of USA beetles can be quite different to Australian cars
plus the Left Hand Drive part...
AND the year models can be totally different to Australian Beetles...

so, probably better to stick to Australian parts suppliers

and it takes many years to get it right...

Just ordered some parts from VW Heritage in the UK. Big advantage is that they will post items as opposed to freight. Much cheaper. Time will tell how good their service is

Many of Us live outside of city areas so don't have a local VW parts dealer to go to..
All My parts over 15 years have been phone or mainly emailed orders...

Have bought from CIP1 in USA they have a great website and most of their parts have the origin on them like made in
USA - Genuine OEM - VW - Brasil - mexico- china etc..
and the quality - bumpers - cheap econo - good quality -
OEM quality - concours quality -

freight is expensive though... USPS - cheapest usually which is US Postal Service.. Not UPS... lol
