About a year ago I sought a new interior for my 66 bug and now i represent the german manufacturing company Meisterberg here in Australia.

dragsters for life - May 15th, 2013 at 06:38 PM

meisterberginteriors - May 15th, 2013 at 06:42 PM

Bizarre - May 15th, 2013 at 06:43 PM

1975 + that have the small back seat base??


meisterberginteriors - May 15th, 2013 at 06:44 PM

meisterberginteriors - May 15th, 2013 at 07:10 PM

We also do interior kits for the factory convertible beetles :)


MR930 - May 15th, 2013 at 09:24 PM

Do you do odd colours? My daughter wants pink and white trim in her beetle.


meisterberginteriors - May 15th, 2013 at 09:51 PM

we can do a pink vinyl but it isnt as strong/durable as the rest of vinyls we use.

A custom interior has a slightly higher price tag of $685 shipped.
Custom interiors can take up too 8 weeks to arrive as there is a waiting time for the build.


meisterberginteriors - May 15th, 2013 at 09:55 PM

if your after a custom colour your best to send me an email with the colour code or a picture and i can see if we can match it with a durable vinyl.
the pink vinyl i was refering too was a hot pink color

My email is justin@meisterberg.com

Id be really interested to see these kits fitted, where are you located?? That's a killer price, as a trimmer working from home, I couldn't supply them for that!


meisterberginteriors - May 15th, 2013 at 10:11 PM

Im located in Melbourne CBD i dont have any fitted here but there are a couple of members now floating around that have them fitted up ill contact them and see if we can work something out


meisterberginteriors - May 15th, 2013 at 10:13 PM

looking for seat covers, door cards for a 71 notch in tan


meisterberginteriors - May 16th, 2013 at 03:12 PM

this is the current selection we offer:

VW Type 3:
Fronts Seat Upholstery, All Type Yr.1970-1972
Rear Only Seat Upholstery Squareback Yr.1968-1974
Front Door Panel All models Yr.1961-1974
Rear Quarter Panel Squareback Yr.1968-1974
Rear Well Panels Squareback Yr.1961-1974

i have sent an email off to germany to ask for an expansion of the type 3 product, and i will start looking for a notchback and fastback interiors to reverse engineer and send to them if they agree.

Im still working out the exact cost for a complete interior for a Type 3 but it will be in the vicinity of a custom interior for a bug so aprox $685 for a complete kit shipped


Nickster - May 16th, 2013 at 04:40 PM

I need to see the video too as this seems too good to be true! I like the looks of it but need some consumer confidence!!


meisterberginteriors - May 16th, 2013 at 05:26 PM

meisterberginteriors - May 16th, 2013 at 05:30 PM

this has been fitted straight out of the box so it still has the fold lines on it.

we use the old mounting points and has a string to tension it similar to the originals that used wire.

Where is it all manufactured Justin?


hrastovica - May 19th, 2013 at 01:53 AM

U've just convinced me to do my interior next on my 1960 beetle. Any chance i could swing past to have a look at the material (i'm in melbourne also).

One more thing, im planning to install Porsche 356 seats up front, is the fabric for the vw and the 356 the same, and can i mix and match (lets say front 356 seats, door cards/rear seat vw?).


Nickster - May 19th, 2013 at 03:24 PM

Are the side panels cut out for winder and door pull? I see the card appears to be, but not the material cover?
Are these the kits manufactured in Germany?


meisterberginteriors - May 19th, 2013 at 06:42 PM

Hey Bus and Bug,

The interior patterns are reverse engineered in Germany from original seats and trims, the patterns are then sent to Vietnam where they are Tailor made.

Vietnam is ideal manufacturing base, with a rich history in tailoring dating back hundreds of years and to this day is an icon in Asia for its Low Cost, High Quality Tailor made Products.

So in short, German Engineering and Quality Control, Vietnamese Tailor made.


meisterberginteriors - May 19th, 2013 at 06:57 PM

hey Nickster,

the masonite cards do come pre cut, the vinyl does not as you observed, this helps protect the product in shipping.
As a result, if you plan to fit them yourself you will need to make a cut in the vinyl to fit the handles.
I plan to make an instructional video in the coming weeks to showcase the product and help DIYers if you choose to fit the covers and cards yourself.
this DIY video will be on the website for anyone to watch.
