S2 interior trim

I am currently in the process of changing the interior on my S2. I am changing from cream seating and carpets with navy blue trim, i.e. rear plastic trim panels etc. to black seating and black plastic trim. I've come to a slight standstill just now when I realised that the rear speaker cards are different from the early ones I was hoping to replace the blue ones with. Can anyone tell me if a later series 1 will be the same or will I need to source them from an S2. I am also looking for the A pillars and B pillars in black.

Thanks in advance

Sorry, I can't help with what you are after but would probably be interested in your door cards if they haven't rotted as mine have! Let me know if you want to sell them. Thanks Joss

I will inspect them and let you know the condition over this coming weekend. Please appreciate i'm a little reluctant to let anything go until I have all the black parts that I need. I'm almost there though. I'm now short of a black boot carpet, the black carpet below the rear seat base, black carpet that fits where the bonnet release and boot release levers sit, black foot rest carpet piece, black rear speaker cards, black A and B pillar trims and black arm rest for the centre console. Oh almost forgot black sunroof plastic panel.

 
Series 2 and S2 isnt the same thing. Series one cars were built until August 1985 and series cars, with an oval dashboard, were built from September 1985 onwards. All S2s were series 2 cars, but not all series two 944s are S2s.

So - all rear 1/4 trims are similar, as are the trims which cover the sunroof mechanism and the part on which the sun visors mount. If you can get later parts then they may have a better speaker grille though.
 
Thanks for that so if I understand correctly the rear cards from an oval dash model will fit a 1990 S2 model. That would make more sense as I believe the rear cards I was hoping to replace mine with were perhaps from an early square dash model. Am I also right in assuming that I would need to source a boot carpet from an oval dash model to fit my 1990 S2.

Worse than that, as there are several boot carpet profiles to house the different spare wheels! [&o]

The good news is that there are plenty of cars being broken, you could look to other countries if necessary for the parts that aren't RHD-specific. I'd have thought a full carpet set would be the way to go; brand new and lovely. Don't forget that many trim parts are available new from Porsche, often cheaper than the e-bay chancers try to sell their "rare" used parts for, so worth a call to somewhere like Exeter PC.
 
From series one to series two they were identical. I had a black trim 1985 and a red trim 1987 at the same time years ago and the rear quarters were exactly the same other than the colour, with a series of punched holes for the speakers. 10 speaker option cars will have a separate and more attractive grille attached. I think that from 1989 onwards the cards, which are otherwise identical, have an external grille too, but I cant remember for certain and my 1989 car isnt here with me to look. From memory a black 968 Lux card will suit, although the door cards are different (they have a roushed effect in the centre). 968 Sport and Club Sports use a 944 type door card and I think, but cant remember for certain, that they used an old punched hole stye rear quarter card.

The rear cards removed look almost identical to those I was hoping to fit. Where the difference lies is the later type, which I need has a cut out to go around the rear seat lock point whereas the early one doesn't. The early one also has a couple of additional holes in this area. It is these holes that create the problem. If it were just the cut out around the seat lock I could simply cut to suit. The speaker holes look identical.
 
Now youre making me wonder whether one and two piece seats rear quarters differ... My own 1988 car has a single piece seat and I have a 968 split rear seat rear quarter card in my garage, so I can look tomorrow, if no one else can answer.
 
968 rear cards are a tiny bit different as the rear side windows use different rubbers. But they can be made to fit.

Also have holes for the different rear blind to fit.
 
If it helps I am changing the trim from a single piece seat to a single piece seat. I would take some photos of the trim pieces but don't know how to post photos on here.
 
From memory early type single piece rear seats will have a different cut out in the card edge than later (944 type) cards will, and split rear seat option cars and 968s (which have split seats) will have a round hole.

Photos of what you have and what was original to the car will really help here.
 
You're right in saying early single piece seats have a different cut out in the card edge to the later single type card. How do I post photos on here to help everyone help me.
 
Just having a practice to see if I can post a photo, if this works I will post some photos tomorrow evening of the rear cards

no, you can't! lol [:)]

You have the right link to the photobucket picture. When you paste it you have to either click the icon of a postcard (top right when you're composing a post or reply), or more likely you'll see a row of options with "image" fourth from the right. Click this, and paste the link in to it, and you're good to go.
 
Usually you need the pictures URL starting 'http://www.photobucket...and ending .jpg' - you need to surround this with the forum picture code, which is slightly unusual in that it is rather than the more common [img]. The correct syntax will be, [i]without[/i] any spaces inside the square brackets, which Ive had to add in order that the command is visible, as opposed to a little red cross):

If this wasnt made up itd have totally worked! [:D]
