I know I need bigger wheels, it was sold with cookie cutters and no one know where the original wheels are.

I can see some similarities with some kits but i dont think it is a mix of different kits. I saw 3-4 cars with the exact same kit like mine when I Google "Porsche 928 wide body".

That is a really wide 928.

Here are a site of a similar car except the S4 rear end. It says it is a Strosek and has some of the Strosek elements such as the mirrors, roof spoiler and rear spoiler. I have never seen the body kit before and I'm also pretty sure it isn't a Strosek body kit.

Where in Denmark are you located? You don't see that many non standard 928s in Scandinavia.

The consensus feels that backspacing of less than et55 on the front of a 928 adversely affects handling. This car will be the poster child for either proving or disproving that theory!

I already talked with Strosek, and they dont know this kit... thats why it is interesting to find out - I want to know some history on this car.

I can not find any owners of the other cars with this kit and ask them. I can find that light blue one that Mattias shows, 1 more metallic blue and a red one from England with the same kit - but only Pictures - no info.

Mattias I live near Copenhagen, the car is now 50 km North of Copenhagen at my friends workshop, we bought it together.

We got the car from Aarhus, and the previous owner got it from Germany, never registrated in Denmark - not yet

The car is 215 cm wide or 84,6 inch, how wide is a original 928 S?

A normal 928S is 184 cm.

Finally I found what body kit it is

It is a German made Langenberg widebody kit. If you google it you will find some more cars with the same body kit.

This one says Gemballa, though I can't find any official Gemballa literature with this kit.
Edit: Mattias got it. Looks like Langenberg.
