Hey all. My left fender's headlight socket is rusted out so will need to be replaced. I guess I could fiberglass the socket, if push comes to shove but would like to know what my options are.
I heard that, unless one get an original fender, it is best to buy them in pairs (left and right) so that the bug doesn't look lopsided. Is that true? Is there variability in fenders? Or are the newer fenders idential to original, looking at the car at seven paces?
I came across some flared fiberglass fenders, unused and undrilled. Are there disadvantages to fiberglass fenders? Is it just a matter of drilling the mounting and headlight holes or is there more to these things? I am not looking to keep the car totally stock so don't mind the fiberglass, but how do these flared fenders look on a bug? Does it start looking like ass with them on? Just have a hard time envisioning it - does anyone have a picture of a bug with flared fenders somewhere?
TIA Remco
