I thought the late beetles had the same door handles
and that the same finger guards would fit too...
maybe i'm wrong...

In aussie we had anodised aluminium cover plates

the ones above look chromed ??

Petey · 18 Jun 2007, 1:19 pm

yeah, i they are chromed. How do the anodised ones look?
That would be cool if the vdub ones fit, where abouts coull i get a set of those?

I bought some in the US. They aren't chromed, but polished aluminium. I'll probably put mine on today, but for a 70 model I think they are different. I know there is a few sets bouncing around the Samba, or check eBay?

Hey Jimbo, welcome back.

Petey, the ones you've pictured are for early type 3s, 69 and later are the same as late bug.

Petey · 30 Jun 2007, 6:35 pm
