This specific version is the US-spec (American style) apron, which is distinguished by the pre-cut holes designed to accommodate bumper overrider support tubes. It is an essential component for any high-quality restoration, providing a much cleaner and more structural solution than attempting to patch a front end damaged by collisions or heavy rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eCrafted from heavy-gauge stamped steel, this apron is designed to be welded into place, restoring the correct factory lines and ensuring the front hood latches securely. The panel typically features a black protective coating to prevent corrosion during transit. Because the front apron is a critical alignment point for the front fenders, hood, and bumper brackets, this US-spec apron is the preferred choice for owners of 1958–1967 models looking to maintain an authentic factory appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/b\u003e This apron is designed for standard Beetles with the following year fitment:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVW Beetle (Standard):\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003e1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePre-Cut Overrider Holes:\u003c\/b\u003e Specifically designed for US-style bumpers with overrider bars, saving you the time of measuring and cutting holes yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDurable Steel Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides long-lasting bodywork that significantly outperforms plastic filler or patchwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDirect Replacement:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered to match the original dimensions of the 1958-1967 production run for easier fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWeld-In Panel:\u003c\/b\u003e Offers a permanent, structural repair that restores the front-end integrity of the chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 111-805-591B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e US Spec (with Overrider Holes)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"14,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/b\u003e Weld-On\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"16,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTest Fit Everything:\u003c\/b\u003e Before you strike an arc with your welder, temporarily bolt on your front fenders, hood, and bumper brackets.
