Product description
In 1949, an export model was added to the standard model, intended for the domestic market. The export model differed from the standard model in its attention to detail, and it was precisely for this reason that the VW Beetle became a worldwide bestseller.
The Bosch horn was concealed behind the left fender, necessitating a recess in the fender to make the sound audible. For greater clarity, a round grille was placed in front of the hole, and a "dummy" was attached to the right fender to ensure symmetry.
During the major model change in 1952 (from split screen to oval), the grilles were enlarged from round to oval.
These aluminum grilles don't stand up to much, even the smallest bumps.
This is why there's probably not a single Beetle left on the road with original grilles in new condition. They are held in the mudguard by bending the tabs.
