Hi all,

I've got two questions about paint and chrome on a '67 Beetle.

Dash Handle - Are the ends supposed to be black or chrome? The ends of mine are missing. I've seen it both ways, just wondering which is stock. Know of a place I can get just the ends and not a whole new handle?

Wiper Arms - Should they be black or bare metal? Again, I've seen it both ways...

Thanks!

the handle and ends are black in 67.
the wipers are painted silver gray-not bare or bear metal.
