Looks nice, although if I were to nit-pick - I don't like the rear wing and I have to ask why oh why did they photograph the car with those godawful floor mats!!!

As already said - what a stock list!

Will add to ROW unidentified cars.

Correct that ... will add to ROW flatnose fakes ...

I finally had time to take a closer look at all of the photos. This car appears to be missing the large washer fluid receptacle that the genuine flatnose cars all have in the front boot (to see what this looks like visit this page on my website http://www.flachbau.com/opts.html ). This larger than standard receptacle was added to service the pop up headlights that assumably would catch more bugs, grime and dirt than the standard headlight (not my logic but Porsche's) as well as the front and rear window washers.

The addition of this large receptacle (and its special plumbing systems) necessitated a special boot carpet that has a special 'pocket' to house this receptacle (see the attached photos). To fake (add) this system would be cost prohibitive and would not add anything to the outward appearance of the car. So the fact that it appears to be missing tells me that the car is not a genuine flatnose.
