Welcome to 2024 !
Let us wish you a good health, lot of success, fortune and a lot of VW fun.

The VW fun part we will help what we can where we can.
Every week new and better products.

The BBT products train doesn’t stop going on, no, it doesn’t slow down.
There’s a lot in the pipeline for 2024!

We take a flying start with that.
Welcome to BBT news.

When VW do Brazil quits production for the door check rod for bay window buses a mere 10 years ago, supply dried up soon.
With no sources left BBT decided to team up and start our own production.

This was not an easy one and took us four years to finish as we wanted it.
We needed the right tension on the spring, the correct looks, the prefect density on the rubber and many more details to be correct at once.

Another BBT exclusively made with proud for you.

We add a third quality of floorplates for beetle.
Our Economy floor plate too thin, our OE Quality too expensive for many.

We teamed up with IGP and bring you this 1mm thick floor plate with a better paint finish right in between.
We care for your Volkswagen from the bottom up!

The 1968 model year was one of these model years the beetle had loads updates.
One update was the fuel tank breather.

The rubber that connects the breather pipe with the fuel tank during first 6 months for the 68-model year was discontinued and VW already changed the design after 6 months.

BBT tooled up and brings back this specific 6-months only rubber.
High quality, with correct dimensions, made after a German NOS part.
