Do any of you guys know where I can get a complete rubber kit for this car locally as well as the chrome trim for the windows, waterbead and side of the car?
Tx
For the rubbers you can try Pro-Auto rubber in Boksburg
http://www.proautorubber.co.za/ or Rubberite
http://www.rubberite.co.za in Pretoria.
You can import anything from ISP West, CIP1.com or
http://www.karmannghia.com
You can also try Grand Slam on the forum, they import from time to time.

Hi Allen... you do know that its not the one you want with the opening for the chrome moulding right? Its a universal cal look type rubber that you need to cut and join yourself.
If you Ghia does still have the chrome in the window rubber, fitting the kit from Pro Auto will significally change the apprearance of cars around window area.

Thank you Muderick, When I spoke to him he said they do the rubber kit for the C , T and Cal look. Currently I have no Trim on the car at all.
Thank you for the heads up I will re-confirm with them.

That is correct 62Vw beetle, for the C type Moulding and the T type Moulding.
Does anyone know where the factory VIN plate sits on the Ghia ?
