Please forgive the topic title, my journalism teacher taught me to be bold with topic lines! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) I have a 72' 1.7 that has brand new "alpine white (soft white)" paint and gold "P" letters on the "hood". The only other "badge" on the exterior of car is a gold {914} emblem on the right rear in the usual place. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) Additionally, my car has Perini wheels (thanks Greg Robbins for IDing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) ) that are Mahle look-a-likes with "plain chrome" (unembellished) hub covers. I would like to know if my car is "badged" as it was when stock and new (USA, USa, Usa, usa, usa usa.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif)) I would also like to know how a euro model was visually different, also regarding badging. I am aware that the car was a VW-Porsche in Europe and I was thinking of "rebadging" my car in the "euro style" to match my "FLATVW" licence plate.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif) Comments? TIA (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

the fender arch has a small "lip" of metal that goes towards the inside. the fenders are "rolled" when that lip is bend upwards and flush with the inside of the fender, thus giving you about 5mm more clearance ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy |
