Beetle Dashboard Gauge Panel - LHD With 52mm Gauge Hole - Right Hand Side (With Vents)

This custom-style dashboard grill is the ideal solution for VW Beetle owners looking to neatly mount an aftermarket 52mm gauge into their classic dash. Positioned to the right of the speedometer, this grill is designed specifically for Left Hand Drive (LHD) Beetles from August 1957 onward, offering a clean and functional upgrade for those monitoring engine vitals such as oil pressure, temperature, or voltage.

Crafted to match the dimensions and look of the original dashboard vent, this panel integrates smoothly into the dash layout and eliminates the need for crude cutting or modification. Whether you’re restoring a period racer, adding modern performance monitoring, or just want a practical upgrade, this gauge-ready grill is the perfect blend of form and function.

The central hole is precision-cut to accept a 52mm (2-1/16″) diameter gauge, which is the standard size for most aftermarket units, such as VDO, AutoMeter, or similar brands.

Applications:

• All Left Hand Drive VW Beetles from August 1957 onward

• Not suitable for Right Hand Drive models

Installation Tip:
This grill replaces your original vent cover on the dash. Simply pop out the old grill and press-fit or screw in the new unit. Depending on gauge depth, slight trimming of the dash behind the grill may be required to accommodate the body of the gauge.
