Please can anybody help. I want to fit the plastic spats as fitted to the turbo to the rear wheel arches of my 924s. I would like precise measurements or a template to drill the holes in the correct place. I have tried measuring and making a paper template but without knowing exactly where they should fit I am not convinced I am getting it right.
I am fitting them because I have fitted cookie cutters which the are wider and the offset is different, but they do look good.
 
Chances of finding any with fixings intact are pretty unlikely, so you will need to make your own fixings and can choose where you like them to be. I am planning on fixing a pair to my latest S and will have to contrive fixings. Most are underneath and hidden from view so can be s/t screws into the bumper(as original), small dia screws and bolts through the wheel arch at the bottom out of sight and a couple through the body which will be visible. Or you can stick them on with tiger seal if you aren't bothered.

They were also fitted to the last of the S models.
 
Thanks for the reply. I have a set complete with all the fixings intact. Trying to get the holes in the right place is proving difficult, I have only got one go at it.
So if anybody has the correct measurements or a template please let me know.
Thank you
 
Surely you can push the cover into place and make 1 if the fixings possibly in the centre

Drill and fix this one then carefully mark the noxt one making sure its tight

NOt sure how many there are but work through them methodically

Good Luck

I have a genuine left hand turbo spat . I updated my turbo to Carrera GT so the spat is not required. in good condition with all the bolts in place.
Happy to sell if you require one .I have a couple of photos but not sure haw to load onto this system

Thanks for the help. The only way to drill the holes in the right places is with a template so as not to damage my new and expensive paint. You can not hold the spat to the wing and then just mark the holes, if it were only that simple. The problem is the shape of the spat where it tucks around the wheel arch flange.
I have 2 complete spats so I do not need any more but thanks for the offer.
