Anyone know for sure? I have seen both types out there. Chrome for replacement.

Thanks!!

Had the pear shaped mirrors. I think they were called Hagus.

Good luck and happy hunting.

For the other guys out there-how do you go about finding a local chrome plating establishment? They seem to have become quite rare after the EPA's new regulations in 2012.

Both of mine are chhrome. Interior and exterior on my original 66 VW. Never saw a black one.
An old car nut who got his driver's license in a new 1961 VW and has owned 10 VW's (1957-1972) since then. Favorite was the 67's (2), but the 66 is the longest owned and current VW.
