...wing beading would a '66 Beetle in Sea Blue (L360) have had originally? I was thinking of buying Genuine VW black wing beading for it, unless anyone can tell me otherwise? I don't think a blue wing beading kit would look that good to be honest. Thanks 8)

Sea Blue as a stock paint colur was available from '64 to '66 I believe? Coloured running board mats would have been an option too. Alex.

Thanks Alex - I'll probably stick with black, to be on the safe side. I think I prefer the look with black, anyway. 8)
