there's definitely a difference between the length on the bottom of the stripe near the wheel arch in the brochure & what ended up on the vehicle's.
can't believe you found one thanks for posting!!
Now some adjustments to the design & I need someone to put their hand up for a prototype @ cost.
let me know if your interested

Empitype3,
Do you have a photo of the other fender with Australian Type3 Racing Stripe ? It seems that the spacing between the center of the "C" and the lettering differs from brochure to photos slightly.
Spacing looks exact as Vlad01 original stripe.

Vlad01 - yes, black boot lining. Compliance plate shows 10/71 build. Don't know if that means that the stripes are from then or the first owner might have spotted them when in for a service? Are they a factory or a dealer option?
Oxsign - will get pics shortly. |

docker,
Nice Type 3 (Notch) Halfback in Australia.
If your car build was 10/71 it's pretty close to 1972 and probably didn't hit the dealer until then.
The Type 3 Racing Stripe was a dealer installed "accessory" option, approved by Volkswagen.
Thanks for the photos, any of the other side ?

my front quarter stripes are longer than yours, unless you trims are longer some how? or maybe applied differently? |
