Where to find 2.7 RS GRP Parts?
Discussion
I am thinking of buying either a 911 SC or early 3.2 and eventually considering changing it to a 2.7 RS "look", ducktail and all. I'm not wanting to build a replica but like the pre-impact bumper looks of the 70's. I know this might be sacrilage to some but has anyone any advice on where to source some of the parts needed? There seem to be plenty of GRP specialists in the US who will supply bumpers and ducktail but am struggling to find many in the UK. Oh and I don't have the budget for an Autofarm replica or one of Paul Stephens great looking machines ! What about early front wings and the long bonnet while we're at it?

Thanks guys.
Will get some prices from Autofarm. Got an email back from one 911 specialists but the prices quoted for the GRP parts seemed pretty over the top. Expecting to have to tidy them up a bit and prep them before they are ready to paint but for the money they were quoting you'd expect them to come painted in the colour of your choice ! Seen www.mashaw.com in the US who quote $1050 for front and rear bumpers and ducktail which seems a good price. Only found one reference to a ducktail bought from there on rennlist and the guy was very happy with it.
Also been advised to get new Porsche wings at £800 each! I realise originals will be in need of repair but or repro wings that bad. Fitment issues I guess would be the biggest worry.
