I have two pairs, but they don't fit my Beetle. They are the narrower shape, will sell them for $30 a pair if anyone is interested. Can also send pics via email.

🙂

Am i right by saying that cos your scratch guards are narrower that they will only fit an older model beetle and not a superbug?

Probably. I was told they'd fit from '68 onwards, but they didn't fit my '70 Bug or my boyfriend's '73 L Bug. So yeah, 2 pairs of new guards just sitting collecting dust.

Is yours the more rounded-shape door handle groove?

MISS VDUB ·

Yeah i've got a 74 L bug 🥲

Maybe someone else who has an older model beetle might take them off your hands if they read this post!

Thanks heaps Pretty_Blue_Bug! Karmen hopefully has a pair for me aswell (fingers crossed) 😁

Hope you get some soon! 😀

It took me forever to source some for my Beetle, they should be arriving any day now. Good ol' eBay! 👍
