The war in Ukraine keeps filling up our newspapers.
Raised and living with moral values man can only confess this is a stain on humanity.
This should not happen anymore in 2022.
Also Covid seems to be back with lockdowns in big cities like Shanghai (26million people).
Inflation is roaring, and headlines news is not too much positive.
But unemployment is lowest in ages, in USA even the lowest since 1968!
More positive news you find here below, a lot of new products to make your Volkswagen life an easier one.
We carry the headliners for your standard beetle in white color since longer time HERE
We now extend this line also with black color headliners for standard beetle.
Standard beetles carried only a small square headliner and had the sides of your roof, B pillars and around rear and rear quarter windows uncovered but painted metal.
Very typical and so much closer to the initial idea of a basic car that a beetle should be.
BBT standard headliners come with the cardboard flaps, exactly like original, for easy installation.
Standard headliners are a perfect finish especially for Cal Look Beetles!
Back to the basics!

2903-115 Headliner(Standaard) – Beetle 08/71- black (135cm)
Bay window lovers beware!
Keep your passenger cool as well as yourself!
For 76-79 Bay window models Volkswagen replaced both fresh air control handles on your dashboard by a single handle only.
Hence they connected the left and right fresh air flap with a lousy rubber/plastic connector.
We all know seventies plastic does not live forever (except in oceans)
The original poor plastic connector tends to age, brake, crush and even pulverize.
This makes the right flap will not operate properly anymore or doesn’t open at all.
These days are over now as our brand new connector opens both of your air flaps at the same time.
Just keeps you and your passenger in the same flow, air flow that is…:)

Finally arrived back in our stocks!
This pre-heater tube is a real necessity when you drive your beloved late model air-cooled Volkswagen in colder weather.
This pre-heater tube guides the warm air of your (air) cooling system into your air cleaner, so your air/fuel mixture gets a necessary temperature to avoid your inlet manifold to freeze up.
Frozen inlet manifolds prevent your engine from proper idling and get an extra ordinary bad mileage on your gas.
The acceleration of the mixture in your inlet manifold makes cooling down the inlet manifold quite a bit, even that much it really does not have to freeze to get your manifold frozen!
So a good working original pre-heater set up is a real necessity!
All pre-heater and heater hoses and installation necessities can be found HERE
