2 complete sides from a 69 bug without vents behind windows. These are via california and mint. Cut shy of bumper mounts front and back but more than useful for rear quarters, channels, front quarter and door pillars. Best thing about these is if replacing all this metal do in one go, and have the proper german dimensions, using original heavy duty vw quality panels not repro crap

price reduced- £300/side

Hi Padraig,the heater channels will need a bit of modding to fit the 1303 chassis I think . AFAIK the 03 channels are slightly smaller in lenght.Its only a small issue though.Someone will be able to explain better as I'm no metalworker.
Unless you are doing a stock resto on the car I wouldn't really be bothered about the fresh air or half moon vents . They're only good for collecting water and rusting out from within.

any photos of your new beetle Padraic? Those sides that Shane has will be fine for you up as far as the A-post. Depending on which superbeetle you have (there were two, the 1302 and 1303 models) then the windscreen frame will be different. Still, if you only need the back ends they'll be grand.

You can't beat stock VW metal for fitting first time! Saves a ton of work in the long run...
