They were a Aussie only thing. They were made in the early - mid sixties and you could order one on your new car...think. I know someone who fitted
them to new cars when they sold them from a dealership in the old days.
Thats why there worth so much these days.

i bought two doors at a swap meet for $35 and they have the stripe down the side of them. Instead of pulling of the bottom chrome strip i will leave
it and manufacture a two piece back stripe for the back of the beetle in my avatar. it will be like the cream beetle with white walls. 4 years ago i
bought a complete beetle with a red streak along the side of it. It was missing the crome strip though. It's similalar to the pink with th white
stripe beetle. It's in the first pic the beetle i'm talking about. Can imanufacture the last two chrome pieces or can i buy them cheap. Cheers Bill.

If you build replicas can you put something on them to let you know they are replicas and not the original pieces.
It would be good to know as lots of people swap bits for bits to make complete sets and I for 1 dont want to get ripped off by not have original
sections. I too could of have some pressed and made but thought it would be better for everyone to keep the flash kits rare and valuable and not just
rape the system because everyone wants these at the moment.
It might just be me, but I know theres a few of us out there that have followed leads, bargained, haggled, begged and borrowed for a set of trim and I
for 1 dont really want to see more sets produced. Thats the point of having them, that not many others have them, to be unique. Dont turn these into a
fashion item like wood slat roof rack.

Alright. i spose i could get two chrome strips and have a straight curve instead of a bent curve. It may even be cheaper. But ispose it'll depend on
the cost. How much do you estimate the cost of manufaction of these chrome pieces bent perfectly?
