Hi

The post on the amber indicators got me thinking. What's the deal with cup alloys and teardrop mirrors on 964's? Where they a facelift thing, or an option since new, or a mod after production ceased?

Many thanks!

Standard from 1993MY I think, but many earlier cars had them added.

The tear drop mirrors and cup wheels were fitted to the 3.3 turbo and the RS when the standard car got flag mirrors and 16 inch design 90 wheels.

The tear drop mirrors and 16 inch 5 spoke wheels were fitted to late registered cars as Goose has said, (and earlier cars which had been sat unsold in the early 1990s recession had them fitted and the cars were sold as late spec cars when they were built in 90/91).

I think they look great and put them on my 964.

They were a period modification, I remember my dad putting 17 inch Cup wheels on his 962 C2 in 1991/92 bought from the local OPC (For a ridiculous sum of money - he still has the wheels even though the car went 18 years ago).
