Thanks for all the comments, I realise its not everyones cup of tea.............but I wanted something different for little money, and it gets noticed, whether I want it or not! For the person interested in the front spoiler/splitter I'm selling them at £399.00 on ebay as my website is not finish yet.

Its only the second Porsche event I've gone too because I've only now become a PCGB member since March....too busy trying to get this project car finished. The wheels are 255/40 17" on rears and 215/45 17" on the front and yes I had to cut the rear arches and flare them so it looked proper, still need the change the rear shocks to adjustable ones as it canstill scrub a bit when you go a bit hard in to a corner.

Any way Im always interested in any feed back good or bad. Perhaps some of you can suggest what you would like produced GRP wise

regards

Paddy

Hi Paddy, welcome to the forum,
I think there might be (small demand) for good front wings, the ones available require lots of work. I am torn between composite wings and new originals on my coupe, the lack of rust appeals the thought of lots of hours in the bodyshop does not! Some here are running f/g wings, carbon bonnets and I think one with carbon doors (our Aussie cousin). There might be demand for a good coupe carbon roof panel, the factory one is heavy and its high up weight.
I reckon the Americans might be tempted by the splitter and it is a much bigger market over there as there were lots more 944's sold there and they are always after something different.
cheers,
Tony

Does any of it actually work ?, Looks like some tyre stretching there too.

A bit of a stretch works a tyre better (with the sidewall slightly less than vertical) - silly 'Euro look' stretching is a different thing altogether though...

The bonnet vents look similar to a Deutsch 9 product.

Scotty would have smashed his house up by now and be sat whimpering in a corner frothing at the mouth !

Would almost be worth letting him back on the forum just to witness the meltdown []

Glass fibre front wings on a lowish milage car would be fine i reckon i ran them on my ex-turbo race car that i used on the road,they looked great when painted,maybe some sort of stone defence on the inside to stop the star cracks.If i had a non concours car that was for track days and thrashes and it needed replacement front wings would deffo go the Glass fibre route again.

Would it be possible to manufacture roof panels including a glass panel like the ones that were available is the States many moons ago ? That might get peoples interest.

Looks quite nice to me. I'm normally not a fan of 'lambo doors', but i think the 944 is exotic enough to pull it off. Saxos with lambo doors just make me laugh!

All this talk of glass or carbon roof panels has got me very interested[]

I thought the Deutsch nine similar effort was a bit expensive, that's £267.

 

[944 man]

Yes - this is starting to make D9 look cheap.

As in a mongrel pretending to be something it isn't ?.

 

[Eldavo]

Nobody clocked the schoolboy-error typo on the rear sticker then?

Could explain why his website has been quiet!

This usually wouldn't interest me at all but for some reason I really like it. When I realised it was a cab I liked it even more - and I don't really like cabs. I think its great and I've only had one beer....

What's the price/availability regarding the front badge panel? I quite fancy one of those.

Not a fan of the rest I'm afraid to say, and as a multiple Lambo owner I suppose I should at least like the doors! For me scissor doors work on Lambos as they are original fit and look "meant to be" - but fitting them to other cars somehow looks wrong (IMHO). They are even surprisingly practical on very wide cars like my Diablos, as you can open them and get out of the car when squeezed into a fairly tight parking space - but on a narrow car like a 944 there is simply no need (though I accept that this weren't fitted to this particular car for practical reasons!!!).
