New SWB Taillights and Turn Signals from Porsche Classic

[Unobtanium-inc]

Isn’t the sign tag what the first Porsche concept badge looked like? Essentially the shape of the Stuttgart crest with the Porsche modification. Then they modified the shape.

They originally did it on a cocktail napkin, Ferry Porsche and Max Hoffman.

Too bad these arent a product of Mr. Kemmer., the master. Original USA rear swb signal lenses are not painted as the repros appear to be, the (darker) red is the color of the plastic so they dont fade like the Euro lenses do. That crest on the sign tag is disturbing.

Couldn’t agree more about Mr.Kemmer, these would have been perfect them.
About US taillight lenses, I got impression from marketing speech in Originale 06 that US version would be solid-colored plastic like original(mandatory back then, not in Europe) and not painted like Euro-lens. But it does look brighter red in pics than NOS ones.

Correct color for front lenses would have been easily achieved, still would be possible but bit annoying to separate brand new 600€ light unit from manufacturer... (they should have used Tamiya modeling paints )

I know the discussion has focused on the lights that are on offer. But when I started this thread it was to discuss the quality and likability of the new products from Porsche Classic. With that being said, they have a crest that looks pretty cool.

to your guys info
if you doubt why erlkoenig classic / reutter shop can do "repro" stuff like this legally

is that the owner of Erlkoenig classic , FRANK JUNG is the grandson to Mr. Reutter, and the story is that he have the legal rights to Reutter and RECARO "classic" and and I know he is making a range of classic Recaro seats at the moment
and this is what I have been told , not sure of the legal and true part of it...BUT Mr Reutter designed the true badge back then for Porsche , and some how they have the rights for the crest .. how this story works in real life I dont know

Last word? Thanks to Eric and a few other "True Believers" there is good stuff we can be proud of. Original still beast repos but when you cannot beat them, you join them. If you cannot do better yourself you may gracefully accept what is offered or choose not to buy it. Easy.
