Complete Front End Clip Assembly, Zwitter & Oval, Beetle, 1952–53

This is the entire front end structure most Beetles end up needing during a serious restoration — offered here as a single, period-correct solution.

If your car has suffered a front-end impact, corrosion, poor past repairs, or a combination of all three, this is exactly the area that gets replaced. Doing it piece-by-piece usually means mismatched panels, wasted hours, and alignment headaches. This kit eliminates that.

What’s included

• Front Apron
• Spare Wheel Well
• Spare Wheel Complete Tray Panel
• Front Quarter Front Repair Section – Left
• Front Quarter Front Repair Section – Right
  

Together, these components form the entire structural and visual front section of the car, from the apron to the wheel well and forward quarter areas.

Why this matters

This isn’t just a bundle — it’s a restoration shortcut done properly.

• All panels are designed to work together geometrically
• Correct shapes, stampings, and proportions for 1952–53 only
• Eliminates guesswork when mixing parts from different suppliers
• Saves you money compared to buying each panel separately
  

Most restorations at this level end up replacing all of these parts anyway. Buying them as a set simply makes sense.

Important installation note (read this)

This kit is NOT shipped assembled.
All panels are supplied loose and separate. This is intentional — and it’s better for you. Shipping assembled would compromise accuracy and increase shipping cost and damage risk greatly. Installing the panels individually allows you or your body shop to:

• Properly align the front end to your specific body shell
• Correctly set gaps, symmetry, and reference points
• Avoid tension, distortion, or misalignment during welding

Any professional restorer will prefer it this way.

Bottom line

If you’re restoring an early Beetle and the front end isn’t perfect anymore, this is the one-and-done solution. Correct parts, correct era, and a better price than buying everything separately.

This is the front end most early Beetles actually need — offered in one complete, discounted package.
