ok i got a 71 super and i love the look of the 67 fender's so i am wondering if i can fit them on my car and if it would look right...

I believe the back fenders will fit, but the front fenders definitely will not work. Super Beetle and Standard Beetle front fenders will not interchange, even for the same year.

you can make them fit i think all you have to do is replace the front apron with a earlier one but im not sure , guys in europe do this all time becasue its hard to find a rust free early bug around .

Let me repeat myself. You CANNOT interchange Standard and Super Beetle front fenders without MAJOR and CREATIVE alterations. The rear fenders, from 68-72, are the same. However, there may be other years' rear fenders that fit on your 71, though they may look a bit different.

how do the guys fit them then. if you look in the mags like volksworld there are supers with the earlier fenders. i knoe that the front apron is totally different but they do it somehow so it is possible

i know it's possible thats why i asked. i talked to someone who had a 73 super and he had some 60 year fenders on it and it looked fine although there was just a little size difference from the apron and the fender's...
