Default WB big oval options

OK….. my project is just about complete. I am running out of things to do to the car.

I have a 97 C4S,and I am searching for a set of big ovals. It seems that Fister no longer makes them,and used sets seem to be rare. Has anyone tried the Fabspeed
or Dansk tips. The Dansk tips look good,but I am not sure there is a US supplier. I would like them to be tapered to match the bumper.
Any and all suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
Emerald

Thanks Rudy,


The photos really help. I think the Fabspeed tips look pretty good. They seem to match the cutouts.


Thanks,
Emerald

Kevin, a set just went for sale yesterday here and they went for $390 and they sold very quick, I think that's the first set I have seen for sell used here in a long time , it's rare that they come up for sell

I know WBs are going up in value, but I wonder how much value is in them if you part one out...450 per turbo twist (used), 420 per tip...that's already $2600 and you still have a whole car left.

I don't have sport seats, but I do have aluminum shift *** and parking brake handle, that's gotta be another grand...oh and white dials gotta be another 300-400 bux

I'm sure at some point engine tray and bumperetts will be wroth 500 apiece

Oh why oh why did I remove mine...

BTW, I have a set of the FDM tips for NB cars if anyone's interested... Decided to stick with the OEM wide ovals for my car.

And we have not even consider engine parts.

Lets see: Sold off piece by piece I could make enough money to … send it off to Singer and get a whole new beast.

Seems a bit of a perpetual motion machine…
