...for a 54 beetle. Must be rust-free on the inside and overall good condition.

Cheers

Do you have a pic, I have a couple.... need to see if you want the same.

Turbo54 - October 8th, 2004 at 03:05 PM

Sorry Chris, I dont have a spare one but do you know where I could get a bonnet?
A friend of mine has some 54 spare and I will ask him.
Thanks

hey Gibbo, I'll post some pics up tomoro


Turbo54: you could ask Empi on this forum, he has 54 bonnet, but i dont like your chances of him parting with it! I need a genuine 54 bonnet too! I've got some 60's one right now...(raised badge section)

oval TOFU - October 9th, 2004 at 05:53 PM

It looks like this... is this the correct one for a 54 though?

oval TOFU - October 9th, 2004 at 05:57 PM

VDUBXTC - October 9th, 2004 at 07:32 PM

Special Air Service - October 9th, 2004 at 11:00 PM

I can sort of remember putting one away years ago at the old mans place but I wont get out there for another week or so.I'll keep an eye on this post and if you haven't got one by then I'll let you know.
By the way would anyone care to let me know the going rate for one of these suckers?:blah
