I think all the short ones, that is the one if you have a bonnet badge, were aluminium, but they do make them in stainless steel now, I was able t get one from George at Classic Vee Dub, but when he gets them in he sells out of them pretty quick, you could give him a ring & if he had one I am sure he would take it to the shootout for you

I've been told they do exist because the 61-62 model was the first to go stainless and it also had the black wolfsburg badge?? If you cut down a later trim one end will be square not rounded at both ends. I've tried Classic Kombikim, George tells me that a you were able to get yours because someone had bought a whole set but didn't need the bonnet trim, so it was left over. Stainless trims can only be purchased as a set. Thanks for your help anyway.

You can cut down the long strips...
You then file down the end, so it fits over the wolfsburg
crest mounting piece [which is aluminium..]
You would need a good pic or an old one to see how its cut and filed...
as You have to shape the end...

No they dont exist you would have to cut n file an origional Stainless strip to suit the badge
The stailess strips didnt come out until 64

G'day Dave, It looks like you can get them from overseas though. I have the 6 pieces in Stainless just need the short bonnet one. Looks like I might have to cut one as I cant justify buying a complete set.

How about some more info from that documentation..IN2VWS wrote:Also this documentation also proves that they were available for the 1962 model year. In another VWA Technical Bulletin from 2/1963, it says for production reasons, approx 800 vehicles will have Aluminium trims instead of the stainless trims.
I love reading them
and I'm sure other VW owners would too....
I never have enough info about beetles...
oddly enough, the early narrow trim was also aluminium..
its very easy to damage... and isn't as bright as stainless steel...
