Hi guys

Anyone got any hot tips on tracking down 2 inch wider rear beetle guards (for my '69)?

Standard profile.

And I have considered widening the steelies but am leaning toward fibreglass to maintain a great profile.

Cheers
Cam

Talk to Michael at VVDS not sure what they have now they have the Aerolook but you want Originals very nice
