Beetle bonnets
How many different bonnets are there?
This info will help a lot of people hopefully
I sorta see
-Oval. Early oval bonnet has the inner support pannels made of three individual pieces
-Oval. Later changed to one piece
- 1200 6 Volt
- 6 Volt. Early 64 they didnt have the wolfsburg crest and a longer chrome strip
- Standard / 1300. Early type, the standard bugs changed in 73. * note - some standards have no holes for strip
- Standard / 1300. Theres no vw badge and longer chrome strips with 73 onwards standards * note - some standards have no holes for strip
- 1302 S Super
- 1303 L Bug. 73-74 had the round cut
- 1303 L Bug. 75 was the square cut
- Mexican
Is there a full list that we can make?
No mucking around or "I heard" ideas I have already done that. Facts is what we need.

I am editing the first post as we go. Anyone who can help with years, model names, descriptions would be great. I will continue to edit the first
post. We will keep this to Australian models, and not get into opening the global can of Beetle models worms. Maybe some nice descriptive pictures
showing "round cut", "square cut" etc.

Some standards had no chrome, built in Germany I think, but offered here, does that qualify for an Australian model?

Well if the actual bonnet is the same except for having no holes, then it could come under the same description as 'Standards' with a * note - some
have no holes for strip
