And Nick Moss of early911.co.uk is a very friendly approachable chap who carries out alot of back dating. He could point out the good and bad suppliers of parts hes currently making this for me

They look like fibreglass wings...if so, must be a cheap way to go for an RSR look?

Pre impact steel wings are not cheap and when I fitted new Porsche ones their fit was not 100% and they were not galvanised. That was back in 1989 - perhaps things have changed now?

Original is best (IMO).

I've never seen a convincing conversion, and I include the Paul Stephens and Autofarm examples. There a always too many 'giveaways' that look wrong.

It could be done properly, but at huge cost. Surely it would be better to buy a really nice restored (if necessary) 911E/S.
