Turbo right wing sticker: Yes or No ?

[sutters]

My car should be ready in the next month after what can only be described as extensive work and a lot of the queens pounds spent. It's a grey 1986 951 with the Tele dial rims, ive reverted back to the orange indicators replacing the clear. Now was there a set model year when the TURBO script was started to be put on the drivers (UK car) front wing? Was this a no cost option and what's the views on it generally?

Thks as always

Turbo S standard and deletion was a zero cost option. Doesn't belong on a 1986 Turbo but you can do as you please.

Never been a fan of it TBH.

I think it's nicer on a grey car than some colours. It's very "period", and I think it's fine on the early turbos even if it wouldn't have been standard unless it was a turbo S.

You can always take it off if you don't like it? []

Fitted as an option to 88 Turbo S cars, my car had it from new and i replaced it as someone had removed it, silver on black, personally i like it.
An oem decal is circa £80 but there are some good replicas about.

I have one and I love it.

Highgate House used to offer a good replica. Worth a look.

Doesn't belong on a 1986 Turbo

I've got one on mine - I didn't realise it made me right wing though?

It was standard. Deletion was an option.

I've fitted one to my '86 951 which I know is out of place for the real geeks, but it's very period and I like it. Some people hate it though!

Like most Porsche graphics it's a bit of a marmite thing really! I say do it, it's only a decal and can come off.

Go for it, just looks right

If you like it then do it []

And if you like it , I've got a Genuine Porsche (Black) turbo wing decal still boxed lying in my garage. Left over from a previous restoration a few years ago, would sell if anybody's interested?

 

[Eldavo]

Yes! Mine is a dodgy aftermarket version. PM me
