Posted by: got914? Oct 8 2014, 01:24 PM
Im looking at a few 914s this weekend. Hopefully be an owner by monday. Ive done lots of research and found lines on most parts but for some reason cant find anywhere that sells front fenders ?
Am I just not looking hard enough ?
Thanks for any help.

Good luck with the search, warning though, ownership is addictive 
You are probably are looking hard enough. The issue is that they just don't really exist new and people that do have any are not going to let them readily go or advertise they have stashed away in the back of the garage
3 probable routes for replacements
Very, very occasionally they turn up on the evilbay etc, but expect to pay $$$$
Post a WTB add on 914World - you may get lucky
People here regularly break cars and cut panels
That said on the whole wings stay fairly solid and you will be surprised what can be salvaged. For areas that commonly rot (around the door handle recess etc) Restoration Design make repair panels
Good luck & let everyone know how you get on

Yea... we regularly break our cars, we fix them too. And front fenders turn up on a regular basis from cars that are beyond salvage and are parted out. Someone here will have them for you. Oh.. and the "wing", it goes on the rear of the car for downforce.

Fair amount of information here. Learn to use the search function or post your questions as needed.
I know nothing about parts in NY, but you can pretty much find anything you want with a WTB or contacts with vendors.
Good luck!

Oh, good--you'll get along quite well here!
BTW, if you're ever out of ammo to use against Clay, two constant sources are:
-His lack of altitude
-The fact that his wife is a faster 914 driver than he is

Bumpers are used to prevent bumping, not fenders
