It's straight, solid steel with crisp stamped ribs and the factory grommet still in place, a very nice original part for a correct restoration. Price is for the one panel shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReal German steel, not a repro.\u003c\/b\u003e Reproduction kick panels are stamped from thinner sheet, often with soft ribs and flanges that need trimming to fit. This one came off the Volkswagen line: original gauge steel, factory press lines, factory holes and factory fit. If you're building a correct Super Beetle, original sheet metal in this condition is getting hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal paint, honest condition.\u003c\/b\u003e The panel retains its factory paint across most of the surface. There's light surface rust and patina at the upper corners and around the grommet (see photos) but no rot-through, no holes beyond the factory ones, and no bends. All five stamped stiffening ribs are sharp and the flanged top and bottom edges are straight. Clean it up and use it as-is, or prep and paint to match your car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eKick panel features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGenuine factory VW part:\u003c\/b\u003e original Volkswagen sheet metal, not a reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOriginal factory paint:\u003c\/b\u003e retained over most of the panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSolid and straight:\u003c\/b\u003e no rot-through, no bends, flanges intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFactory details:\u003c\/b\u003e five stamped stiffening ribs, factory holes and grommet in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOne of one:\u003c\/b\u003e you get the exact panel in the photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFitment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVW Super Beetle (1302\/1303) Sedan:\u003c\/b\u003e 1971–1975\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVW Super Beetle Convertible:\u003c\/b\u003e 1971–1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDoes not fit:\u003c\/b\u003e standard (torsion bar) Beetle.
