I'm doing a sunroof delete on a Hasegawa 944 turbo model and a bridge spoiler conversion. Be a bit cheaper!

No sir...I bought it new from Porsche about 15 years ago to use for a repair at the area next to the passengets side sill, the sill was replaced at the same time. At the time I was probably a little mad spending nearly £1k on a panel just to cut a small part off to use. It's paid me back though as the old body shop still had the left over section of wing. This I gave to the current bodyshop who have now made good use of it...🙂 Pete 944 Turbo......was 368BHP/382Torque.... now more... Quote Reply #607

I guess someone else recently had ordered one meaning they had some in stock, cost a third the price of one from Porsche. I had used a lower front wing panel from the same company some years back...fitted well. I would have used a rear wing panel too but they didn't make that panel back then. As for rust, I'm amazed at what they have found, more so that most of it was still invisible even after taking it back to bare metal. They must have prodded the entire car looking for the smallest of holes and then welded them or cut out and replaced with metal. The holes around the rear panel above the bumper was a big surprise, there wasn't even a hint of corrosion under the paint. The sill had the tinest of holes and could have been patched but as it was the original sill decided best to change it. Well done you in making your own, not easy when compond curves are involved...I look foward to seeing it finnished..🙂 Pete 944 Turbo......was 368BHP/382Torque.... now more... Quote Reply #609

I look at them and think what would that do, but Porsche obviously thought it was worthwhile. I'd be looking at uprates like that and welded in strut tower mounts, plus any metal fitted to the Turbo Cup racers, and incorporating them into my car if was stripped down. Quote Reply #610
