Hello!

I think i have done a thorough search for information regarding which baja parts are interchangeable between regular bugs and super beetles. It seems there is no one source on the net where everything is listed together. So, i am starting this thread.

I would love to make a complete list after we have a full compilation of info here in this thread.

From what i understand, the rear fiberglass cowl over the engine and the rear fiberglass fenders ARE interchangeable between standards and supers.

and front hood, fenders, and nose-piece are NOT interchangeable.

are these 2 statements true?

and what about rear engine cage?
front Baja bumper ? (i assume NOT interchangeable)(what about with easy modifications? (bends))

anything else?
and anything different between older and newer standard beetles?

thanks!

Everything from the doors back will be the same, Nothing will interchange on the front.

aha. okay thanks!

so all engine cages connect exactly the same way and are therefore completely interchangeable?

thank you.
