If anyone hasany contacts please give me a shout on either 07711 706 306 or ghelliker@burtonmail.co.uk

The wing should be the same ( I sold a wing of an S to a mate with a 924Turbo and it fitted fine

What's the 'inner wing'? On my passenger side there is a plastic shield in front of the wheel covering the nose area. There is nothing on the driver side - should there be? is this the inner wing?

Agree the wing itself will be the same, unless that is you've bought one from a very early 924 n/a which doesn't have the side repeater.

What do you mean by inner wing though? the shell of the cars are exactly the same??

Looks a lovely early car[]

Thank you [], well that's why I like it, an original early 1 with no cracks on the dash, interior perfect, 4 speed box, 2 spoke steering wheel with steel indicators. Only thing I have always wondered about on this car are the mirrors, are these original or from the later one?

May be a daft question, but did you ask in the kiosk? I left my Boxsrer cap on a fuel pump and realised when I next filled up at another station several days later.
Returned to the first station and they had a selection in the kiosk, including mine!

Not daft, yes went back a few days at different times and no go... they did have others types left there.

Hard to find in the UK, need to search on ebay.com, it was used on some VW models there, be aware that there are some similar looking caps but they are bayonet fitting, not screw.

Thank you, I have looked on Ebay and yes I was told a MK1 Golf is the same but..... Yes not screw no point getting 1 unless it is the exact 1. What about ordering direct from Porsche with chassis No. or is such a thing possible.

I believe they’re later ones - the originals were just thinner and black plastic rather than body-coloured.

Just had a look on the PET (parts compilation) for up to ‘79 and the Porsche part no. for screw petrol cap for your early car appears to be: 471 201 551. They may be no longer available through Porsche, but worth a call to your local Porsche centre (or Porsche Classic, perhaps?)... not sure on cost, though!

I have always been doubting if they were original. There was a 77 one on pistonheads for a while and it had just one chrome mirror......

Thank you, that is great info, I will try a Porsche dealer so. I wonder who would be best to entertain that kind of inquiry. If they are not the original they are the only modified thing so they are going to have to be replaced even though I should have this sorted a long time ago although as they are getting more valuable these days, an original one is very hard found and especially a pre 80's one so worth doing.

The locking cap is a Stant G785, I got a nos replacement from eBay.com. Come up fairly often.

The rubber sealing ring at the top of the thread, is available new from Porsche, it's the same as the later style caps.

The later style wing mirror came in from chassis number 92481 02503, if yours is earlier then I suspect it should have the small plastic backed one. Those are hard to find as a lot of early cars only had one, the drivers side. Which in Europe and US is rhd passenger side. They occasionally come up on eBay.de, they are the same as the audi 50.

Brilliant, thank you very much. So just to clarify this is the 1 as I will go ahead and order immediately while it's still fresh in the head?

Great I will check the chassis number, I nearly would prefer the earlier style as the earlier model is a little more basic with no spoiler on the boot and other kind of more classic bits. I guess the later ones as the same as the 944 ones, well look the same anyhow.

Just checked the chassis number. Date of 1st licencing August 1978 & 1978 manufacture with 924 in the reg and chassis number 9248106719. So does this look as if they are the original ones and if they are great as the car is completely original, yepee, rising in value so .....

An image here from a few years back when I was doubting the originality of the mirrors and the fuel cap.
