Hi everyone, I own a 1983 911 sc that is undergoing some restoration work. As part of the bodywork repair I'm looking at removing the rear spoiler and just having a plain engine lid/cover to replace it with. Apart from a few scabby examples on ebay I was wondering if anyone could recommend or give advice on where is the best place to source such a part that is in good condition.

Many thanks.

You could get the holes welded up and use yours.

Buy a second on eBay. Either full lid, remove tail and weld holes or a flat lid.

Put a wanted on impactbumpers.com

I agree, they do turn up on ebay on a regular basis. Impact Bumpers is also a good place, it's where I got mine from.
