Given that it's not possible to find the correct part,
which would you go for on a Coachbuit VW?

A part which fits, works fine, but is not the correct part for the age of the vehicle?

or

A reproduction part which looks correct but is brand new?

:? :roll: :? :roll:

What would you prefer on your car?

Hello Malc,

I am going for the part that fits but has not the correct age!!!
For a deck lid of a Heb no problem I would say!!!
The model did not change in the few years Hebmullers were produced!!!

But if the deck lid of your Heb is missing I would try to buy a metal repro!!!
Atleast if I didn't had to rob a bank to do so!!! :wink:

Otherwise a cheaper polyester one :shock: :? would be a good alternative to buy!!!

:twisted: ET

I usually think that incorrect is better than repro, depending on the part. Its better to have something incorrect but a genuine part from the coachbuilt company, rather than something correct that was made in Japan last month.

---

What about a genuine VW part from a slightly later model or a new reproduced part which looks spot-on?

---

depends on the part, if it stands out as being very wrong then a repro part. If not then genuine.

I'd rather see repro grooved bumpers on a split than genuine 1303 ones. But a real Heb badge from a DKW would be better than a correct repro one...

Are you jalous you still did not find your real cheap Hebmuller? :roll:
When you ask me its better to have a nice and correct repro of an original than that you have one of "another" car that Hebmuller once produced! 😎

:twisted: ET

Have you not heard the news? :wink:

---

Are you trying to tell me that you found a real cheap real Hebmuller than? :shock:
If that's the case: congratulations! :wink:
But don't put a DKW badge on it, that looks cheap! :?
You better bought a nice repro from me when you had the chance!!! 😎

:twisted: ET

Nah... the news is that I'm jealous of anyone with a driving VW :lol:
