Wondering what people think about getting rid of the side markers when re(sort-of)storing a 914?
Yes, to make it cleaner? Yes, to get rid of holes for water and rust reasons? No, because it is not original to the car? No, because it is less safe? Any other ideas? Better looking side markers? Flat ones like a 924? Small ones like a 90's VW/Audi? Thoughts??? |

Every time this topic comes up, the results are the same. The majority prefer the clean look without the warts (myself included). Some like them for originality (although it was a US only thing). Some replace the warts with more modern lower-profile markers (and often move them back behind the wheel) as seen below.
Bottom line is, it's purely a matter of personal preference. You should do what you like best on your car. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-226-1306205415.jpg) |
