Default pics of 951 with Fuchs and 968 spoiler ?

Does anybody get pics of a 951 with Fuchs and 968 spoiler ?

I've just bought a complete 968 hatch (I can't dare telling price when I see prices on US market) and I will make paint the spoiler to match the car (from purple to white, maybe to black)

I can't find any pics except from Tifo's and Kimple's cars. It'd better if the car is white with euro rear bumpers

TIA

I wonder why this spoiler is called a 968 spoiler since it is originally a 944 spoiler which were a factory standard for last MY 951 & S2 models...

Pictures can be easily found from Mobile.de, where are always several S2 & 951 for sale with this spoiler. Here's one example:

You're right but most people call it a 968 spoiler. It's easier to understand than a bridge or "hard" spoiler.

I seek for car equipped with this spoiler and Fuchs (so '86 only). I do know how it looks with D90, CS design, Cup 1 rims.

It's refered to the 968 hatch as ALL 968's came with this hatch. It's more easily understood.

If someone said "Anyone got a S2 hatch for sale?", we wouldn't know whether they meant rubber or hard hatch.

People can more easily invision the 968 hatch. Some people aren't even aware that the '90 & '91 European turbo models had it, or that even the U.S. '91 S2 had it...

hahaha

VR3 install should get started in a week or so. This time of year I have a heavy workload of contract work so only get a little time each week..... with snow and cold it would not leave the shop for a couple months anyway, so no rush.

Even with LSD the little 245s are expected to "cook on demand" in at least first few gears.

Controlled throttle modulation will be key. Should be really interesting driving it on the track. I expect the car's mentality and attitude change will get an overzealous driver in trouble fast. Planning on plenty of track time to get settled into this new setup.
