Hi Rick,

Funny as it may seem I am going to get rid of my left rear guard as it is slightly shorter than my right [somewhere along the line before me anincorrect guard was fitted].

The guard I need measures 30 cm from bottom of tail light to edge, whereby the one I have on measures about 27-28 cm. What size are you after?

Squiz....

well the rears are the same as most bugs from 60 on so you are only looking for a set of front sbug ones

vdbleu2002 - November 23rd, 2004 at 04:25 PM

new german would be perfect. I do prefer a matching set from a donor car .They are not all the same as far as Im aware as I have two different size ones on my car. the diference I can make out is the end where you would put the stone gravel guard are different.

i got a set of fronts for a 72 sbug and a rear left with a small dent what are you offering

ColumBUS - November 23rd, 2004 at 06:38 PM

have a full set of four for a 73
but wont be able to hand em over until i get my new set

vdbleu2002 - January 8th, 2005 at 01:48 PM

Im not sure if 73 and 71 bug guards are interchangeable. Certainly the rear aren't correct as 73 has large round tailights. The front well im not so sure

true... good luck anyway!
