Hi Sean. A bit odd as I have contacted a couple of other posters without any hitch.
Anyway .... spotted on 944 forum that you had some parts for sale. Initial question is where are you located ?
Odd bulky items, such as rear hatch, have turned up on eBay but they always seem to be in Scotland or other distant parts, making collection wildly expensive/impractical.
I'm based in Shropshire but travel regularly to Gloucestershire.

Hi Nigel
I've sent you a test email with my e-address
I live in Bucks, but regularly go to see inlaws in North Wales, so Shrophire, and it's dear, dear SCAMera revenue collecting hordes are well known to me.
Give me a shout on here if my email also fails to reach you..
best

Email arrived OK have just replied.
North Wales Police and scameras are a sore subject with me. My only points in 40 years thanks to a revenue trawling operation on the last 30 yards of a downhill run out of a 30 limit. Yes, I should have been touching the brake but allowed the car to build up to the dizzy speed of 36 mph.
Although I challenged the prosecution because the officer had twice signed his statement alongside a date that was in fact one week earlier than the wicked 'crime' and then further challenged his lie to the magistrates that he "saw me approaching at speed" - I still got done.
He had in fact shown me a video clip five minutes before the hearing (having failed to meet the legal requirement to send me a still photo before the hearing under the "disclosure" rule) in which it was clear that he was videoing out of the back window of his dark blue van - and I approached from behind so he would have needed eyes in the back of his head. He went bright red when I picked up on this and mumbled that he meant to say "heard me approaching". Yeeaaaaah - 32 to 36 on the overrun in 5th gear in a normally silenced VW saloon - and from inside a closed van ? Anyone for porkies ?
3 years later I discovered what he was doing was in fact illegal. When I had seen quite a section of his videotape as he tried to find me, I saw that he was in fact targetting every single car coming into and going out of the 30 limit .
I now know that the law requires him "to form a prior opinion of excess speed" and only then to use the camera to provide a "secondary" and usable degree of proof.
By filming every single car in both directions (many of which were doing 'legal' speeds) he was in fact trawling for revenue and not operating as the law requires.
I just wish I had known that when I went to court at the time.
Net result :-
3 points. And, in my case, total loss of the respect for police that had been built up over my lifetime of dealing with (and helping) decent policemen.
As they say in North Wales - " .... the only time North Wales Police catch a burglar is when he is doing 33 mph"
