My wife snapped this pic in a roundabout as we were entering Friedrichshaven about two weeks ago. Apparently there was a car show in the area that day, as there were quite a lot of interesting cars on the road. This was the only 914 we saw on the road in three weeks in Germany. Anyone's here or know this car?

That front fender looks so nice and pure without the warts. Just the way Porsche intended.

OK, just playing devil's advocate, let's say Porsche DID intend to and put warts on 914s originally. Then what would you say now, seeing one without warts?

I'd say that the fender shows a graceful curvature that isn't apparent with the wart. To my eye there's no comparison, which is why I had them removed when my car was painted.
