I wouldn't expect them to make a sudden change like this just because the model was ending. In fact I would that would be a good reason not to invest in any changes. On the other hand this might have been just part of a lightening trend that just happened to coincide with the last year of our type 3s. In that case I would expect to see similar changes in beetles and buses. OTOH, the hood I had might have been a later replacement, but there was no sign of that being the case.
