Paul, the car is mine and to answer your question - the spoiler was heavily fettled to get the fit right but I will enquire on repeatability for you (in all the excitement I don't know if moulds were made!) The guy who fabricated the grill swore he'd never make another as it took so long to get right! I've enjoyed reading about your car btw - lovely.
Hi Fitcherama,

Wow, you are a very lucky man although I suspect luck has nothing at all to do with it more like months of meticulous planning and expert workmanship :thumb up:

Yes please, I would be very interested to find out.

Thank you so much for your generosity

Cheers,
Paul

I'm in OC for the week and I stopped by Truspeed yesterday. They are backdating a 964 for one of their customer using metal for rear flares, fiberglass front fenders, and will do a color change to white. They are doing a RSR look alike and hopefully they will post progress somewhere.

Yes they're LED's, I've bought two of the round ones to mount either side on the parcel shelf, for additional brake lights.

Definitely not period correct.

I was thinking more R-Gruppe than retro when I posted that picture.

The "smooth" glass look is really nice.

Not everyone dreams of moving the oil tank to the frunk...

For you C4 guys looking to create your own 964 C4 Lightweight.
