Early guards late body?


Can someone tell me if early 60's front guards fit straight onto a '68 beetle, or do they need to be altered. The lines look similar, but not fully sure...

Yes,
they just all bolt on the same

You will need to cut the bumper bar bracket hole in the fender

early bumpers can be fitted easily with made up brackets..
