Im pretty much looking for all 4 brackets to attach bumper to the car, mine areall pretty wavy and splitting in two. Anybody paint the inside of their bumpers to match the car? Someone mentioned this to me and it didn't soundlike a bad idea, thought I'd throw it out there for discussion
I'll check my parts stash Saturday morning and get back at ya. No luck on brackets Randy.. sorry. I did find a set of towel bars and bumper guards from a '65 KG though (not that you need 'em) |

Bought the bulldog adhesion this morning, and some bumper paint(silver) for the backs. Masked them off and painted them, they look much better with the back side painted, not that anybody will look, but it makes me happier. what color are the over-rider suppurts suppose to be, black or silver, or car color? Help me out here, cause once I paint them, I dont want to take it apart again

If I'm not mistaken, the bugs are supposed to be silver.  |

'67 & earlier Type 1 bumper brackets were silver from the factory. The replacements that used to be sold at VW dealerships were semi-gloss black. As for Karmann Ghias, I'm not 100% sure... but I'm pretty confident that they'd be the same as a Type 1.
That's what I thought, but Im not sure either. I will be primering this morning and painting the little sheet metal parts this afternoon, if any body else wants to weigh in, today's the day |

And now without further adieu..... It's neither black nor silver. I stripped them down to bare metal, and there was no sign of either, they were ruby red just like the color of the car. So now they will be regatta blue

Thanks Zack, I just wish you were in town when I did the headliner. No matter how hard I pulled and stretched, I still have wrinkles in the velour, any tips to get them out? Or do I just live with it? |

First time in the sun since Thanksgiving 2009 I was worried it wasnt going to look as good in the sun as in the flourescent light of the garage. I wasn't disappointed. Looks bitchin' Finally got all the windows in so I could wash the dust off. What do you think?     |
