I'm tipping no. Looks like they've got some trim from a 6v bug and shaped it to look like a flash for '70 1500.

The width just doesn't match up.

Not a bad home job,

I have the same flash kit. Mine also has a small mould where the red meets the rear guard.

It's not home made. It was another flash kit made, just not as fancy as the more common type.

Thats not homemade, it was on optional extra back then (late '50s-'60s) and I have had 1 or 2 in the past. It would have looked better on the later Bug if they had've put the early wider bodyline trim on as well, and yeah some had the small peice that sat against the rear gaurd.
Cheers.
