These were made by Canopy Industries Pty Ltd at Marrickville, Sydney

they were sold under the trade name of Tilli Products, and were available for most makes of cars including Ford, Holden, Morris, Peugeot, Simca, Vauxhall and of couse Volkswagen

great stuff, i had never seen the 2nd and 3rd ones before. with how ugly the 3rd one is i'm not suprised about that.

Bizarre - February 21st, 2007 at 08:26 PM

Any chance we can get a current car picture of these??

MV12 is the common one

Doesnt 1963Raider?? (Bill from Tas) have one of the others

What about the Type 3 flashes. Anyone have a car with these???


boristherat - February 21st, 2007 at 08:26 PM

Wow, some great stuff there.
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but, what is the general feeling about people replicating flash etc. with paint? Is it classified as a no no and naff? I reckon I could make it look ok.


vw54 - February 22nd, 2007 at 06:28 AM

heres a pic of my car fitted with the MV14 kit


vw54 - February 23rd, 2007 at 06:13 AM

BUGBOY - February 23rd, 2007 at 08:31 AM

This oval has had it taken off and kept in a safe place.
I also have the MV14 with alloy inserts.

"" I also have the MV14 with alloy inserts.""

Nathan... yeah i have the MV14 with the alloy inserts as well but didnt like the look of them so i left them off and paint the section to match my wheel and interior trim


whatnow - February 24th, 2007 at 12:22 AM

nice score bugboy, until this post i had never seen that style before and i've been addicted to these things for over 10 years.

vw 54 i've seen a few late 50's early 60's holdens with additional trim. is that also made by the same firm?

supercharged 66 - February 24th, 2007 at 01:20 PM

That is great dave, I have the mv14a, I had obtained it off a mate....From what I have heard they used to anodise the corregated metal sections in different colours...my one is a faded gold colour...does anyone have a car with this trim not fitted to see where the best spots are to drill? cheers...zsolt...brisbane...


vw54 - February 24th, 2007 at 01:37 PM

yeah i have a silver anodised alloy section


DR PEPPER - February 26th, 2007 at 12:27 PM

I got mv 12 and would live to swap it for mv16 or mv 18.Anyone....


phantom - February 27th, 2007 at 07:43 PM

So, can anyone help me identify the trim on this beetle?

I haven't seen it anywhere else.....which is a shame, cos I only have one side! Any ideas?

they are both really georgous cars,

I have the m14 alloy insert trim on my 65 golde & the regular flash trim on the 60 bug,

would be nice to see some of the other styles on cars today.

a guy told me he threw his flash trim in the bin a few months back when he started doing up his beetle,:duh
he nearly cried when I told him how much they sell for !!:crazy:
