|
|
hi, considering the possibility of trying to source a kdf popes nose / license light. im not talking about the pre49 riveted nose, even earlier. anyone know of one for sale? how much do you think one of the would run for in say decent condition?
if its way too much (say more than $600) really considering just settling with a pre49 riveted one instead. it's good enough I think.
just curious.
thanks in advance for any help or info! |

.... before you even get to the price, you have to find one that is not attached to car already first...
Any idea of how ultra-rare that original Kdf stuff is?
If you want to define rare, then multiply that by 2, and then you're there . _________________ drive it like you just robbed the bank

you don't have a kdf. if you want to build that fake replica anyway.. start with a picture and a flat sheetmetal , and do your thing _________________ 1960 1200 model 117 deluxe ragtop

thanks for the input. yeah, I figured it would be a killer! decided to just go with a split nose. done.
apprecite the help and insights! didnt know they were attached to the car like that. been studying up a lot on these old cars and figuring out how everything is pieced together exactly. kaefer nostalgie is a great start for someone like me who doesnt have an early beetle right in front of me to reference and look at. they have a abudance of parts! |
