I'll bet there are more posts on Rennlist stating the belly pan is not needed vs those advocating they stay on. This explains why most 928's you find out in the wild do not have one. Mechanics remove them to gain access, figure they are a pain in the ***, leaving them off.

People ignore the fact that belly pans aid in cooing by keeping air flowing in the proper direction through the radiator.

What the 78-84 crowd really needs is an aftermarket unit that covers all the way back to the bell-housing like the S4's.

I saw on one eBay after about 15 years of ownership.

I bought it real quick.

Bought the new aluminum pan, now does anyone want a slightly bent version for any reason?

Does anyone have a photograph of an S3 pan, preferably off the car?

Here you go. This is from my 86.5.

It's been repainted and a tear near the alternator covering was repaired with JB Weld and strips of aluminum sardine can.

A few bumps here and there, but it should give you a good idea of what it looks like.

I probably have a few that are slightly bent but serviceable.
85 on has a bigger bump-out for alternator than pre 85.

Chris, if you are interested in parting with one that would fit my 86.5, let me know!
