A passenger side wing mirror which I never used and is now gone and a pair of chrome exhaust pipes which I never put on becuase I couldn't get the old ones out.

Locking gearshift, so the buggars couldn't pinch it! I lived at Mt Druitt then!
Rob...😎

The first thing I ever bought was a vent cowl to stop rain getting in the engine compartment, my dad just used to put a plastic sheet over the engine then close the lid but one day drove off without removing it:cry very messy and smelly. I was only young then but have had quite a steep learning curve!

Robo ·

Forgot to say I got a rear venitian blind NOS on the same day! for $120.

doesnt quite count as an accessory, but I got a spare (6 volt) battery because my generator didn't work so good. When one battery was getting flat I'd swap them over and charge the one out of the car until it was time to swap them over again.
but it was my car and I loved it!

Starbug ·

Resto64 ·

eye brows and tail pipes

Spook ·

I picked up a beetle roof rack at a flea market.
The fact that I didn't own a beetle was a minor detail............😎

carisma ·

mine was sports steering wheel and new fancy foot pedels

Craig Paton ·

Mine was a fuel injected 1835 out of a speedway car and then a good lookin girlfriend!!😀

penguin ·

I think my oval may count as an accessory, as my square is teh one that drives and I only got it two weeks ago!!
The square.. first thing was tyres and a steering adjustment 🙂 Sorry DaveB, just really got bugged (no pun) by the wander and wobble from your place to Sydney.
But for the oval...... ummm... pop-outs? maybe but they're only one of stacks of stuff bought so far put aside for when I get it on the road. Latest was a set of robri style stone guards from Roy.

I think it was a set of Twin Carbies to replace the single set up on my 1500 Station wagon in 1971

squizy ·

A set of t-bars, eyebrows, moon discs, and a set thunderbird extractors on my '70 Notch in '86. Prior to that was some 145's and a lowering job.

Squiz....

BenettonVW ·

The first.. well.. it was a while ago.. he he...

Atlas Whitewalls on the original JIMGOW.. man they were sweet too!!

barls ·

a set of 2" taper pipes and a quick shift kit

zac_smits ·

umm..mad comics to spread across the backseat for passengers to read 😀

BLUE_62 ·

A front sunvisor of PHAT BUG was my first accesory. After that the list is endless.... 😎

VWFREAK ·

Quick shift kit and roof rack for my old 64 beetle, about 13 year ago. May she rest in peace.

ratty 63 ·

Shift lock for my '63.

Glove box door for my Twin Cab

Spot lights for the Baja

Unity-28 ·

first thing I bought for the notch (when I had it!) was the roof rack...

First thing for the bug were a set of fuchs....I didnt even have the car yet.

N!

pete wood ·

Type 3 discs and drums (on a 67 beetle), if thats an accessory. Seat covers next.

Then a Tacho, unfortunately the signal wire I put on originally had thin insulation and it wore throught after a few months. The engine used to die on left hand turns. It took me a week to trace the fault. :duh

I think the very first thing was a proper VW gear knob to replace the yukky one that was on it when I bought the ol girl home.
Many yrs ago now.
