|
What up guys, hey if i wanted to make my own bullet fenders for my 57 bug, which years could i use? 55-58? so they are identical to original bullet fender.
Its becoming increasingly difficult to find a decent set with a decent price.
As always i appreciate your knowledge. |

Identical? You'll want to use 1953-57 front fenders.
You can use 1958-59 fenders, but the stamping inside the headlight bucket is changed. If you use 1958-59 fenders, no one will know if you install a headlight. And they are more plentiful too! _________________ 1947 Typ 11a

There are a few threads about oval fenders on here and there is some good info but i cant find a definitive answer... but am i correct in saying that pre 56 front fenders are wider and have a somewhat different profile around the headlight... ? _________________ LOVE splits more than Jean-Claude Van Damme |
