It looks different the most S model factory wings that I have seen. See the factory OEM wing on the arena red...its appears bigger (wider).

The Turbo S wing has that little mini-air slit you see. I have a pal with a Carrera S, and he has the same wing on has car, it was supposedly a factory option.

Brand Names? Seldom do you see a Brand Name on a non Porsche OEM wing. Perhaps the knock off producers of such wings are fearful of a Porsche AG law suit, or at the minimum a "Cease and Desist" order. Wings with Porsche part numbers were not actually produced by Porsche, but contracted out to other German firms. Can't tell what these specific companies were without doing the research, but it wouldn't take too much effort to identify these companies. Probably FVD would be on the list....

If Porsche OEM it will be stamped like my OEM Turbo S Wing. This one appears to me aftermarket NON OEM.

That's the factory (or at least factory style) 1a kit. Style 1b had the third light in the wing.

Default Not to be contradictory...

But the little slit on the leading edge of the wing, tells me this is not an Aero Kit 1 or 1B.....and if it's original, it will have the trade mark illustrated in this thread. This looks like a Turbo S wing to me...

As far as MA Shaw, his stuff is made for him by Getty Design, so I have been told.
