Center Front Chassis Support "Napoleon Hat", Split Oval, up to 1967, Beetle

This is the closest you’ll get to an original Beetle Napoleon hat without cutting one out of a museum chassis. Stamped from 2.0 mm automotive-grade sheet steel, using proper deep-draw tooling to reproduce every contour, reinforcement, and mounting detail exactly as Volkswagen designed it.

No thin aftermarket metal, no distorted shapes, no “close enough” reproductions.
This is a full one-piece pressing, dimensionally correct, crisp, and ready to install without fighting the fit.

Built specifically and with correct detail for all Beetles up to 1967, this Napoleon hat restores the correct front chassis structure exactly the way the factory intended.

If you want the correct look, the correct fit, and the correct structure, this is the panel you use.
