Beetlgrl,

Try prestige europarts, it's a sister business to one of AVD's sponsors (classic veedub).

They are both in Sydney at Rydalmere.

Click on this link & it will take you to their combined homepage.

http://www.classicveedub.com.au/

or this one will take you directly to their new beetle accessories page.

not sure of the ones in syd... but there are a few in vic that do customising... and you will find that most have to import anyway... US and EURO scene for new bugs is pretty big.

Best is call them up and confirm with them the parts you want. They are quite helpful.

I don't think classic & vintage have much of the stuff she's after, she doesn't want "new" beetle parts, she wants "new beetle" (ie: water cooled, engine in the front) parts.

Beetlgrl,

I found my direct link to prestige europarts new beetle accessories page didn't work, so try this. Once you're into thier site, click on "search parts" then select "new beetle" in the drop down box marked "car type". Leave the "part number" & "part description" fields blank then click the "search" button and it will show you everything they stock for new beetles.
