Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?

It sure is. I was looking into ducktails as I had read there were several versions and went down the rabbit hole of factory wing options. Appears to be some disagreement on what came out when but the Weissach version is the slimmest looking wing. Do you know what ducktail options there are? Hard to find that information.

Dave's had the 3.3 turbo tail (known as a tea tray)
Put simply the tail options are as follows:
1) Duck Tail - there is only one 72 -74
2) The Turbo tail used from 74-77 - firbreglass with rubber lip (my C3 had this)
3) The fully rubber tail (nasty thing) used 77-80
4) The 3.3 Turbo tail (tea tray) used 78-89 - used on SC's in the early 80's too.
5) The 3.2 Carrera Tail used 83-94 (used on some 964's like the American RS)
There are some IROC specials etc - but the tails above were used on production cars.

Dave, you appear to be a nose down attitude with the front tyre covered more than the rear. There's no way to achieve that on the 964 and still get an acceptable suspension travel. Does it bump steer at that setting? Paul complained about his setting and Kev let him know that the good Doctor knew what he was doing with standard settings so why change it? I don't think that's the whole truth (look at US SUV height 964s) but has an element of logic to it. I suppose you will find out at HD!

The Turbo one by the looks. IMO Dave made a good choice removing it. They make the rear end look heavy on non-turbo's.

They do. Magnus put one on the 78SC he built. Like the black look in combination with the rest of the scheme. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...079afedc2a.jpg

Out and about a bit. As midday heat is no good for painting. It may be just a hyper sensitivity but the R is bringing out some 'interesting' reactions from fellow drivers. Not all of it positive: boxing me in by doing 93km/hr on the motorway; speeding up when I go to overtake; parking right up against my door. Mind you the Cayenne isn't bringing the best out of people either. Never had negative reactions in the 964s.

It starts out cheaply as the tail is USD 450 but freight, labour and hardware soon start to ramp the cost up. I think the plastic grille was > NZD 400 landed.
