Reproduction padded dash for Beetle

Post by fourier »

I need to replace the padded dash on my '77 Beetle (non-S model). I saw reproduction RHD dashes (part number 114857051DS) available from various suppliers on the Internet. Can anyone offer advice or an opinion on these dashes. Are they any good?

Alternatively, if anyone has a perfect (no radio cut out, no cracks) original padded dash for sale, please let me know.

Thanks

Riaan

Google is your friend... Search for 114857051DS. There are a few suppliers selling them.

A friend imported one, but the fit and finish is not as original. It has a much smoother texture.
