What's with my fenders

Hi all,

I'm in the process of stripping my Beetle and have realised the indicator positions on my 2 front fenders are completely different. Does anyone know if these are off 2 different models or were the holes done badly by the previous owner??

Any help is always appreciated 馃檪

Almost correct Steve. Except for our north american cousins who do call them 'fenders'. The british called them 'wings' or 'mudguards'.

LMAO I was going to call them guards but with the research I had done so far everyone was calling them fenders. I must have been on US sites.

So one is a 64, is that correct? I was actually considering shaving the indicators on both anyway. Is the rest of the "guard" the same shape etc?

Some people call them quarters, usually a term on the rear.

Right one is 64-67 left is 60-63

Mostly called wings and guards I think.

Here's the famous Brazilian group "Os Paralamas do Sucesso" (The Mudguards of Success). As can be seen, they don't match exactly.
