Default Help - cant find right rear 'Euro S' tailight lens

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has and is willing to part with a new RHS rear tail light lens for a Euro S.

Roger tells me that he can no longer source this part new from Porsche US or Germany. Dave R has taken the part of his online shop too...

I just resprayed my rear bumper and its now the only Blemish..Surely someone has one in a box lying on a shelf somewhere!!

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks John, but I'm looking for "new". I have two used ones and both have the standard cracks through the mounting holes etc..just keep getting water in them, plus they look Sh*t-house.

Neither did I until Roger mentioned it. I took him on his word and didn't investigate the difference.

No guys, I mean the actual main tail lights. Left and right are different of course, but apparantly different again between Euro and US.

I have a set on the shelf that have Euro part numbers. I am not near them today but I can take pics of them. It has been a while but when I googled the part number the only thing that came up was UK eBay.?.?.? I have owned them for years but never had them on a car. They were not in Porsche boxes so I assumed that they were used.

Sure, Stan. I don't want to hijack this thread so I may start one or I'll PM you.

The paint code is 811 - Zeigelrot Kiln Red Metallic. Glasurit 55-line base and the legendary NLA 923-450 clear. The color is the most expensive non-tri-coat I've ever seen @$1300 a gallon for the basecoat. I'll admit that I didn't have to pay that price. I'm not crazy enough to spend $2500 in chemicals to paint an '84 US 928.

Your 11H '88 would be a pricey re-spray as well.
