Ive just bought a 62 bug with the chrome flash up the side (I think thats what theyre called"
its red in colour with the inside of the flash being white

yeah its a beast of much desire
dont ruin it as there arent many at all around that originally had this trim !

The side flash was a dealer kit provided by VW Australasia. VWA provided the extra chrome trim, and the VW dealer would paint and fit before sale. Only the larger dealers (eg. Lanock Motors Sydney, Regent Motors Melbourne) could generally make the modification.

I don't remember any reference to Kommandeurwagens having a side flash though !! Perhaps in a lighter shade of khaki??

Yeah, its a piece of OZ VW history, restore it, or mabe pass it on to some one else. You will find another doner!

I wasnt going to do a faithful kommanduerwagon copy but by the sounds of it maybe I should find another car this project
