WTB: early beetle bonnet - original, fibreglass, carbon
Hello all,
As the title states - looking for a front hood/bonnet for an early beetle.
The bug is a 58 but am happy with 54-66 which I believe will fit (pending hinge style)
If I'm pissing in the wind here and these are simply unobtainum please let me know.
If that's the case - happy with fibreglass or carbon etc if there are any available?
Alternatively if anyone knows of a local AU dealer/importer that's stocks body panels new would be appreciated. Otherwise will look at importing one
if need be.
Nick

Mate - I may well have to head that way!
Came very close to chopping the front off and putting that fibreglass front section on instead!

Bushed - happy with glass do long as it looks stock- no Baja style cutouts.
Nothing on gumtree or eBay - just complete cars.

Bushed do you still have the glass bonnet?
A witty saying proves nothing.
