Any help appreciated !

72 ST had no glasfibre parts in the rear....they had aluminium center plate ad steel below

Some of the 72 ST have GRP parts because the factory had not many spare parts available. Some of the tuners made spare parts of their own out of GRP, that's why some of the cars wear GRP.

from my point of view this "S / T" has GRP on the front?

Yes, my 72 Car has also GRP front fenders, but it ist 50 years ago, most of the cars where raced over the years and changed their body.

Every car was different. If it was in the FIA homologation document you could use that part. From memory GRP rear flares were in the document so you could put these on a 72 car if you wished.

Hello, if your vehicle received "fins", you will also have received a modification in the rear bumpers to adapt them to the fins. Could you tell us how they are built? Are they a part or is it a part built for the car?

Those front fenders are steel. These pics came from Michael Keyser when his 72 Toad Hall ST was being built in late '71. Here is a pic showing the front turn signal buckets with steel mounting pieces, and headlight buckets with brackets which is proof it is a steel fender.
