hey everyone,

im after a set of indicators, the early bullet style ones, the kind that sit next to the headlight on a beetle on the front of the guards.

iv heard they were a factory option on early beetles, but they were the original beetle ones, and i know i would have to modify the base if they are kombie or type 3.

thanks :)

They were only factory on American mid '55 to Aug '57 beetles.

thanks for the suggestions guys.

on apprentice wages so im kinda not in the position to spend $70, so old ones i might be better off with, plus i can trade as well if i have something you want, or panelbeating ect.

well im not sure which ones are rare and which arent, i dont need ultra-rare original beetle indicators, im happy with anything else that resembles them.
as far as the tab, if u have the goods then im pretty easy to deal with :)

Hey Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, I think Ben meant where his tab is up to at the moment.
Maybe he's working towards enough credit for a respray or something, I dunno.
Oh and it's "Kombi" :wink:
