1973 Volkswagen Wide Super Beetle
Some information on the 2 inch and 3 inch wider fenders that were added to our 1973 VW Superbeetle
When my dad and I planned out the overhaul of the 1973 Super Beetle I really wanted to go with a wide fender look for the car. We ended up ordering new fenders from Innovations in Fiberglass some time in 1998.
We ordered 2” wider in the front and 3” wider in the rear and took the car up to Bryant Motors in Sedalia Missouri to do the work necessary to repaint the car.
It was definitely a unique look, and I think turned out great. If I build another Super Beetle, I would likely do the same thing, though I would love to have more lighting options now, almost 25 years later, with the advancement in LED technology.
