I picked up a right front fender for my '74 Super Beetle from the VW wrecking yard. After I got it home I tried to see if I could bolt it to my car and found that none of the fender holes line up. The fender also seems to be the wrong "shape" for my car. The fender had the original Volkswagen headlamp and turn signal lamp.
The fender has the right cut-outs for my bumper. Did I get an aftermarket fender? Should all '73 - '79 fenders fit all '73 - '79 Super Beetles?
Thanks in advance
Gotcha!
The frt fenders on Supers are different from Std Beetles. You want a '74 and up SUPER fender. Note that '73 had the old bumpers.
