Most Volkswagen Beetles that need restoration need to have their front panel replaced. If not for the amount of rust, it's the dents that disfigure the front panel.
All front panels replace the original, carefully drill out the spot welds, grind them clean and your new front panel can be welded.
If you have a choice between an A or B quality front panel, the main difference is the profile pressing and the overall finish, which on the A quality panel is equal to the original and on the B quality panel may differ. In addition, the steel used for the B quality panel is not as thick. In summary, a B-quality front panel can be used if originality is not the first priority and/or if the budget does not allow the use of an A-quality panel.
