Hi guys,
I am after some heavy gauge german running boards for my 61 beetle. 32mm chrome strip. Can anyone suggest where to but these from? Before you say it, yes I have googled it, just want someone who has purchased a set and can recommend where to get them from...
Cheers

I got a pair of german made running boards from classic vee dub sydney. Amazingly i received them the next day after i ordered them. Fit and finish is excellent. Very happy with them.

This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

You will pay a lot for New German running boards
I have heavy duty Brasillian running boards which I can stand on
so, You don't really need German..

Sorry can't remember where I bought them.. probably at the nationals years ago.. but You should look before buying..
If You can..
some are VERY flimsy and could never hold a person..
then again I wonder how many people have stood on theirs.. lol
