I think West Coast Metric has beading, but it won't be quite right. Usually the best approach is to reuse the old beading. It can be painted (off the car) to make it look right. You WON'T find new fender beading in matching colors anymore; you'll have to paint it anyway. The main problem with the old beading is that it will have shrunk. You can usually get it to work, but this is a job for a HOT day. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
