Fiberglass beetle fenders

Post by 4agedub »

Who in JHB makes good quality light weight beetle fenders?
I'm looking for std width fenders or 1" wider than std. I've used some other fenders before, but they had to be bolted onto std beetle fender bits to fit properly.

I have never seen a set of fibre glass fenders that didin't need tons of work to get right, they are all shitty. A set of wide fenders from VS recentrly took more time & work to get right than the rest of the shell, so beware.
For what it's worth, ignorance has no limits ......

That I've seen. Just thought that some one is making better ones. I've already got a wide set from Volkspares at home, but they did not fit like I wanted.
