Am I waisting my time?

Greetings all,
New member here with a question. I have a Pearl White 66 in original paint and "some" of its pigalle interior. At the moment my focus is to fill in some of the missing carpet. I've tried Samba hoping that someone would have kept their OG bits and pieces after a restoration/replacement. No such luck. Zilch ! What I'm looking for to buy are the front kick panel carpet sections with the heater grommets and the strip across the firewall. A little ratty is okay in any color except dark grey or black. I plan on dying red to match my tattered original. I just love my beetle's lived-in originality, dings and tatters included. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Am I off the deep end with this search ???

Should give the folks at sewfine interiors a call. They have carpet for beetles in lots of different colors. I've used them before for seat covers and wasn't disappointed,even after the premium I paid on price.

Looks like you may have a long and frustrating quest ahead of you. The red interior is rare enough alone, but hoping to find someone who has set a decent enough interior aside, and kept it, is a bit of a stretch. You'd be better off getting something close from a repro supplier and dying it the colour you need. Just saying ....

I would try placing a "wanted" ad on TheSamba.

Hey All,
I appreciate your suggestions but just want to make it clear what I'm searching for. I'll take any color OG square weave carpet sections except black and dark grey. I would be stoked at the chance to score a pair of front heater grommets if any are laying around. I know..........dream on, but I gotta try. Thanks again.

Again, contact sewfine interiors. They are pricey, but they may just have what you need.
