Door trim panel

Background

VW created over two dozen variations of the New Beetle interior door trim panel identified by a three or four letter design code.

2002-04 Turbo S door panel

Armrest covering options were leather, vinyl leatherette, or cloth in a range of colors to coordinate with the seats. The top was painted to match the exterior paint in most cases.

In general, the panel is well designed, functional, and attractive … with the exception of the door pull handle cover coated with soft-touch.
