You will pay a price for an oval rear cut.
AFAIK FBi in Wales/Swansea would likely stock one - at a hefty price.
There's a chap on Volkzone doing a roof chop to a 70s beetles - it's either a split or oval rear window steel pressed outer section with the louvres etc n in the text it was remarked up on by him how bad a fit it was ... Maybe you can get in contact or reply on there as to where he got it from....
You'll really struggle here to source a steel oval window section

Ah cheers i really appreciate it, i unfortunately couldn't afford an old beetle like i wanted so i bought what i could afford and have started fitting older bonnet, deck lid, wings, front and back panels etc.. So if an oval section turned up id take it(i know i would have to pay up for it) I would also pay up for a ragtop if available. Thanks again for the comment.
