Rear apron/valance beetle
Can someone please help me figure out what model rear/apron valance I need for my 1976 Beetle?
As we all know these vehicles are constructed of bit and pieces.
Is the rear apron standard beetle or 1302/1303 aprons?
I want to remove the current one and fit a removable one for ease of engine work.
Thanks

Standards and Supers all use the same aprons, any of the flat 68 onwards ones will fit but if you want the correct original one you need the 75 and
later buldged fuel injection style but with 2 pea shooter cut outs which is a hard one to get.
Unfortunately both the expensive German Klokkerholm ones and the cheaper repro ones have the square cut out for the Alarm switch that was fitted on
late Mexi Beetles.
No idea why as Mexi bugs used the single tail pipe cut out valances.
