Default Watcha call that 951 body part...

Hi all, watcha call 951 body part black plastic aero skirt thing that's mounted on the bottom rear edge of the front fenders on a 951?

I lost the one off my right front fender and I don't know what to call it to search for another one to buy.

Is there a part # for it?

Thanks in advance!

I just had to replace mine on the drivers side... it got ripped off on the lift . It always causes paranoia when i drop this car off to some places, even Porsche friendly shops because its such a pain in the butt to get it onto lifts and usually requires wood under the frame rail to prevent them from crushing the side skirts.

That is exactly what happened to mine. I crunched it on my lift and sometime later I noticed that it was gone!

Inevitably somebody at some point will lift on those and bend them.

What I did was take the sill cover off and bend the mounting bracket straighter than the 90 degree bend it has which effectively brings the edge of the sill cover flush with the Rocker panel.
