Beetle Spare Wheel Tray Bottom Repair - 1950-60 - Top Quality

This spare wheel tray repair panel is a premium-quality replacement section for Volkswagen Beetles built between 1950 and 1960, designed to restore the lower portion of the spare wheel well positioned behind the front valance. On early Beetles, this lower tray area is especially susceptible to rust due to moisture retention, underbody corrosion, and exposure to the elements, making it a common structural repair point during restoration.

Manufactured in the USA by DKB, this panel is pressed with accurate early-style contours to match factory specifications for Oval and early 1960s models. It replaces the bottom section of the spare wheel tray, allowing selective repair of the rusted area without the need to replace the complete front trunk floor. The fitment ensures proper alignment with the front valance, bumper mount area, and inner front panels on both RHD and LHD Beetles.

Supplied in bare metal, this panel is ready for trial fitting, welding, sealing, priming and painting. Ideal for authentic restorations, show cars, and structural repairs where original Beetle geometry must be preserved.
