Replacement Front Apron for 1968-1977 VW Standard Beetle

Black anti-rust coating (must be removed before primer and paint)
Requires welding for proper fitment
Includes hood channel seal (requires welding or affixing during installation)
Shift shaft hole matches stock apron cap diameter

This replacement front apron must be welded in place to ensure proper fitment and comes with a black anti-rust coating that should be removed prior to applying primer and paint. The shift shaft hole on this replacement apron is the same diameter as the stock apron cap, rather than slightly smaller like the original, causing the stock apron hole cap to fall through. Since replacement apron caps are not in production, the stock apron cap will need to be modified to fit the larger hole, or a new, larger cap will need to be fabricated. This apron also includes the hood channel seal, which is not attached and will need to be welded or affixed during installation.

Notes on Sheet Metal:

Virtually all sheet metal parts are sent with a black, sprayed-on, rust inhibitor. This is NOT a paint or a primer. The black paint that comes on most sheet metal items must be removed before applying primer to the sheet metal.
Expect scratches, minor dents, dings, and imperfections. These are considered normal. You will likely have to perform minor body work on any aftermarket sheet metal during the installation and restoration process. This is a universal issue across the entire classic car industry due to the nature of the product.
Large dents would be considered excessive damage. All sheet metal is carefully inspected prior to shipping for any major dents. Any sheet metal that is received dented must be presented to the shipping carrier for a damage claim, regardless of the condition of the box.
Test fit the all sheet metal before painting. Once body work or paint work has been done to any sheet metal item, it can't be returned! There are no exceptions!

Please Note:The information listed below is for stock, unmodified VW's manufactured for sale in the US. VW's are commonly modified and very often parts from another year VW may have been installed on your car.

Test fit the apron before painting!
Previous accidents and body work can cause poor fitment of new sheet metal items. It is very important to test fit the apron before painting it. This will allow any necessary body work to either the body or the apron to be done BEFORE it is painted.
