Default Wheel Well

Can someone please post a picture of your wheel well? I'm in the process of moving the CDC over to the driver's side and began to wonder whether the inflator should be in the spare or the jack. Could you also show me a real 993 jack as I'm sure the PO sent me a generic. Bonus pts if you have the CD changer in place

I think you want a pic of the front trunk, not wheel well, right?
If its a wheel well you want, Andreas would be your man for that!

In front trunk, the pump goes inside the spare tire. The jack is supposed to be up near the front bumper, "attached" to the front of the trunk carpet via an elastic band. If you twist the two ***** behind the bumper to release the carpet, it is on the back of that panel.

The factory jack looks like this (see first post):

You need a shiny new rotor to go with that pic. That used rotor really stand out with that totally brand new looking car behind it.

That's sick Andreas! It looks like you haven't gotten around yet to taking a brass wire gun barrel bore brush to your rotor holes to derust them.

Ok guys. Way to make a newbie feel like...well a newbie! Of course I was speaking about the well of emptiness that is inside the spare tire that is in the space in front of the steering wheel but behind the bumper next to where the battery sits. The factory sheet I found says to cut the carpet to fit around the unit. Is that what others have done? I understand there is a "bag" the unit goes in as well. Is it worth $50?
Keith, the jack I got looks like that but I thought there was supposed to be a protrusion that went into the hole(s) at the jacking points. Am I thinking of a different jack?

Andreas, if my wheel wells looked like yours, I wouldn't be able to drive my car. I wouldn't dare put tires on. They would just hide all that beauty!!!!! I can just imagine what your sock drawer looks like lol.

WOW What do you use to clean it? Or does your car only have 3 miles on it?

Many things. I've posted about this more times than I care to remember.

The car is a 6/94 build with 51,000+ miles.

Hombre,
Sorry for the thread derailment.

I did find a pic from last year that may show what you are asking about:
