im just finishing off a few thing before the repray on my beetle, and way its a 65...

so my question to you is, would you change the rear number plate light and front blinkers give it an earlier look ?

No.
Only if YOU have a problem with it being a '65.
Other than that there's just no point.

nah i like it being a 65 the only thing i prefer is the popes nose style number plate light but i cant see me taking away from the originality of the car just over the rear number plate light.

do what you want. that's a subtle mod, but one that won't detract from the car. I'm sure there are other mods you are doing too so why not.

I agree with Pete Wood it's your car do what you want.

But me I would leave it as is.

do it.
and while your there, put a whale tail on it for that real period feel 🤘

paint up both a popes nose and a standard one, then you can pick and choose.
paint 2 engine lids too so that the holes are right for each. 😀

thanks for the opinions people i think ill just do another decklid with a popes nose that way i can swap em when ever i feel like it.

Popes noses rock. would look dead ugly on a pope, but on a dub, classic.

I got one with the number plate light on a baja rear scoop thingy. well, its not a scoop, but sits across there like a shortened decklid. Very classy! Go for it mate. Listen to the inner voice.
