- NOS left rear fender

Payment by PayPal.

Thanks, Mika

I have a NOS passenger side outer rocker panel available. It's not cheap at $250 + shipping, but not a reporoduction that will take hours to fit or the later 964 Porsche replacement version that also needs work.

Mika,
(as fellow Finn) I suggest you check Mittelmotor as well for rear fender and licence panel (check you buy original Porsche part), they have very good shipping rates to Helsinki.
As for sills, I went for 964/993 sills as originals were so difficult to get so buy if you can get, IIRC 993 sills were app 130euros from Porsche UK (I live in UK)

Right outer rocker bought, thanks Andrew!

Thanks for the tip Ville, I´ll better check Mittelmotor´s website more often

Its good to call them with Porsche part number, e.g. I just bought full floor panel (full lenght) from them, original part at same price as from German OPC but shipping was cheap to Helsinki. (so they have very good deal with their shipping company obviously)

Hi,

Porsche prices across Europe ‘should’ now be the same, this is something they have been working on recently. There used to be a time that is was cheaper for us Brits to buy from Germany but prices should now all be in line across the euro and £.

We buy a lot of panels from Porsche and most customers are surprised when they find out what is still available. Granted some panels are from later cars and require "backdating" such as outer sills, a-posts, inner rear wings etc but I think it still amazing that we can buy, for example on a 73 RS and 68 T in for works, a pair of RS rear wings, RS rear bumpers, SWB rear/front rear wings etc.

Here are some bits for a 73T that arrived today.

Totally agree with you Alan! What is good about Mittelmotor is that they also send parts (unlike OPC) and at very reasonable cost.
Although prices SHOULD be same inside Euro-area, Finnish OPC have totally rip-off prices (e.g. I checked full floor panel and it was twice the suggested Euro-price that porsche gives. Explanation:"we don't use suggested retail prices that Porsche gives" So you need to get them e.g. from Germany)

Alan, would you mind posting Porsche part numbers of some of the parts showing on your pic?
It would help me a lot when contacting Mittelmotor

I´d like to get part numbers for the following:

- kidney bowls (left and right)
- kidney bowl supports (left and right)
- a-post (left)
- front bumper brackets
- front corner "bits"

TIA, Mika

Hi Mika,

No problem, I am at home now but once back in the workshop I will send the P/numbers you need. If you get stuck I can PM my number and please feel free to call.

My local OPC are very (very) good just in case that helps. The full floor panel, which includes the entire front tank panel and tank side panels/tank support, (I think) is a good value panel considering what you get.

Thanks

Alan
