This chrome stock style rear engine tin seals off excess exhaust heat from the engine compartment making your Air-Cooled Volkswagen that much cooler. Product fits most 1300cc-1600cc based applications.

Our Expert's Take:

When it comes to engine tin, we always prefer original VW tin to aftermarket tin. For our 1971 Super Beetle restoration, we had our pick of the warehouse for the most part, and we used all original engine tin. Sometimes getting ahold of original pieces isn't feasible so there is a place for aftermarket engine tin. Aftermarket tin does not fit as well as original tin, period. Trimming, clearancing and occasionally drilling may be required to get the engine tin components to mount to the engine and other engine tin pieces. With work, the tin can be made to fit and be effective, but do not expect an OEM fit.

Note: The engine tin is not designed for use with fuel injected engine compartments. While the tin may fit the fuel injected engine, there may be a large gap between the engine tin and the body.

If you have a 1975 and later fuel injected VW we recommend sourcing original tin from a junkyard or other source of used parts.

Chrome Maintenance and What to Expect:

We put this notice on all chrome products, regardless of manufacturer, or origin.

Chrome plating is an electro-plating process that is highly regulated due to the environmental impacts of the chemicals, metals, and the exhaust gasses released during the process.

We highly recommend maintaining any chrome on your vehicle by applying a car wax or detailing spray on a regular basis

Here are some additional tips:

Hubcaps - Spray paint the inside with paint or rust inhibitor, wax chrome finish regularly
Bumpers - Spray paint the inside with paint or rust inhibitor, wax chrome finish regularly
Exterior Mirrors - Lightly wax chrome finish regularly
Exterior Chrome Trim - Lightly wax chrome finish regularly

If you properly maintain the chrome and keep your car stored in a dry, non-salty-air environment, the chrome will last.
