Global Beetles
Are there any differences in Beetles around the world that i can get for my beetle?
Cos my gf works for an airline and travels (mainly to europe) and she gets some cool stuff for my Audi, why not the beetle
Cos i heard there are some difference with Italian Beetles with their tail lights. I have the US spec tail lights which are cool but are there any
other differences to beetles cosmetically than the aussie ones eg- differnt hub caps, etc, etc?

VWs Different...
I would love to have a girlfriend flying around picking up parts for Me..... LOL
The 1960 1/2 + 1961 Beetles in Australia and Italy had german made Hella tail lamps. they are 1/2 amber + 1/2 Red and are slightly smaller in height
than the 1962-67 tail lamps.....
Thats all I can think of at the moment.. but if You buy the TOTAL VW magazine from the UK,,,, You will see many items that are NOT available in
Australia... many are manufactured in the UK,,,
regards
