Do you have a side and/or rear view?

How big of spacers would be needed to fully fill those wheel wells out? Or just extremely large wheels with the right offset?

Definitely not Strosek.

Not Koenig, either.

hmmm not so certain now, but its likely the closets match. Fenders on yours look even wider than the DPs, or its just yours needs wider tires. Most of the pre S4 DP pics show round fog/driving lights in the front facia, & most have the DP logo somewhere, many on the rear bumper.

Hmm.. the front and rear fenders look like the BoB DeVore race car of old - the flattish section on the back of the rear arches looks similar too.

Trying to find pictures, but the 928s4vr site has been taken down by 928oc (presumably being migrated somewhere?) and the old threads from here only have old ebay links.

DR and Mark A both sold sets of those body bits - they might know whether they shipped any to Norway/Sweden/Finland etc.?

edit: found a pic on the internet archive (wayback machine):

Or go to 'Resources', then 'External Links'.

... The 'Devore' link in Gallery1 is working.

Well, some digging and this car isn't the same as the DeVore one. Found a pic from Dave Roberts who bought the spare rear arches (and I believe later sold them to a 79 project).

Hi Hilton,

The guy that bought those never used them and I ended up getting them back. They are currently in storage in NC...ironically in a "barn"..LOL

Cheers,

Dave
