Specifically: taillight lens and door mirror. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
Scratches are (pretty/really) minor, but these *are* supposed to be new parts, and Porsche sure don't price 'em like they're scratched. Looks like the damage happened between manufacture and packaging, not in shipping. Or, is this "how they all are"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) pete |

Through a dealer, just in from Germany. Bags all look recent, and so do the parts. Tags and stickers on the bags are DEFINITELY modern. Some of the parts look, uh, *not* NOS. Targa-bar top pieces (the thin, short strips) have double-sided tape on their underside -- with the current Scotch-brand backing!
New rear latches are very impressive, and look truly new. Super smooth actuation, too. And to think I was going to try to rebuild/refinish mine... Seriously, there's a lot to like here. Offending parts are barely so. Also don't love the idea of returning stuff and creating hassles -- especially if it means more of the same. But, after dropping $2k on trim, you kind of, uh, want to start aNEW. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) pete P.S. Are there any pics of your Bahia 914-6 floating around? Would you be willing to share? My car is apart in bare metal right now and was Bahia... Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
