Headlight deleted from the fenders? Just curious.

I have a special wish of not seeing that ever again.

Doesn't look like anything Porsche made. You'd have to see the docs to be sure.

Documentation from the factory, letters from the special wishes department, bill of sale, that sort of stuff, otherwise I think its someone's abomination.

the very early special wishes cars (late '81 an early '82) did not have the pop up headlights or vents in the top of the fender like the later slant noses. this is correct, front fascia with the 4 square headlights is correct too. the parts evolved a number of times from 81-late 82 and there was a lot less documentation happening during that time, so it is definitely harder to confirm.

They do seem to have a lot of relevant documentation. The 1970s and 1980s were not western civilization's finest hour in terms of style and fashion (remember platform shoes?). By the standards of both today and what what bent before, that car is mind-bendingly ugly and worthy of scrap. Still, somebody will just have to own it, if only to document one of Porsche's 'special' mistakes.

I'm failing to see what's so ugly about it.
