I didnt want to mention it at first, but as far as I remembered, the Super Beetle's bonnet IS actually shorter than the 1200/1300/1500 because of the curved screen.....

It IS better to get a 'standard' Bug and do the 60s thing on it.....

Did you fit those taillights without any problems, because I want to get a set of those for my 1974 beetle?
also do you then need a extra set of indicators for the back if you fit those taillights?
