Well we have a beetle coming home this weekend and we have a show on Sunday looking for some ideas on rear seat belts so we can enjoy it as we intended a family bug,

I'm loving the Wolfsburg Castle style period 3 point sash belts

Has anyone had any experience with these

I've been told the mounting points should be in a 65 bug, lets hope so

The original owner has fitted retractable belts in the from I would love to replace the fronts also and retro fit these with same as the rear

Its not a daily driver a club car and weekends only

The other item we are looking at is a roof rack and bamboo parcel tray

If we don't go down that road our daughter wants a HERBIE sticker kit fitted

Are these available from any Australian suppliers

Roof Racks?
Seat Belts ?
Bamboo Tray?
HERBIE Decals??


So many questions I know but I'm pumped to finally have a beetle coming home


thanks in advance

Roof racks and Bamboo tray are best found online, or at a show if your lucky.
just make sure you secure the bamboo shelf somehow. The way they drop into place is fine...until one day after thousands of km's it drops down behind the pedals and you have no brakes or clutch.
