Hello all,

As the title states - looking for a front hood/bonnet for an early beetle.

The bug is a 58 but am happy with 54-66 which I believe will fit (pending hinge style)

If I'm pissing in the wind here and these are simply unobtainum please let me know.

If that's the case - happy with fibreglass or carbon etc if there are any available?

Alternatively if anyone knows of a local AU dealer/importer that's stocks body panels new would be appreciated. Otherwise will look at importing one if need be.

I thought you would find one easy..... I just sold one cheap with the rest of the body attached 😊

..... May have another ....Will check

Mate - I may well have to head that way!

Came very close to chopping the front off and putting that fibreglass front section on instead!

Bushed - happy with glass do long as it looks stock- no Baja style cutouts.

Nothing on gumtree or eBay - just complete cars.
