Hi Wolfgang,
I work at BBT and we are very proud on this new product.
As they are quite new and only came in this month, we haven't had many reviews yet.
However one of our customers and friend of the house Stefan "De Garaasj" has already fitted them.
You can find his review here:

Kind regards from Belgium & stay well! |

That's great Frederik!
Do you guys have split front fenders? What about rear fenders?
Thanks!

Great pictures. Clearly shows how many dies and thus investment to make front fenders.
Rears take quite a few less since they don't have the hump and hole for the headlights but still a significant investment.
I look forward to hearing how these fit and look.

This place is 30 minutes away from me! Never even knew they were around. WOW! Guess I have a new place to get parts from. Thanks for posting this!

hey Jimbo. That's a great shop, highly recommend them. I was able to get a BBT Belgium only item ordered through them, transaction was flawless and I'm a couple states over in Texas. Cheers

Splitwindow ones will also come within 1-2 months from now.
They will have the specific splitwindow headlight bowl and round horn grill hole. (we will also offer the STD model, without horn grill hole)
We will first see how the front ones will go and afterwards we will probably start developping the rear ones.
Kind regards

Unfortunately not, we thought by offering the housing seperately, people would be able to add them themselves.

| i am using one of them in a 59 beetle. i tried to purchase only one because i had around an original one from an european 1955. unfortunately they do not match, the pressing around the headlamp is different on the original it is more rounded. there are also other details here and there. the painter suggested to purchase a pair to avoid problems. |
