    WTB: wheel arch trim

    Where can a wheel arch trim set for a 1968 911 be found?

    Stoodard and Sierra list reproduction trims but not sure if they are the same for SWB and LWB, I suspect not.

    I sought info from this forum re the quality and fit and no one replied so haven't stumped up any money yet.

    Wheel arc trim is for long wheel base only, they do not fit short wheel base as the fender lip is very different.

    Clyde the quality and fit is excellent, I highly recommend the repros.

    here is an example of repro trim from Sierra, they are made by URO parts one of the better products this company manufactures, they also do LWB turn lenses now and the quality if better than the repros that have been around for a number of years

    Pity about the SWB cars as with dark colours like aubergine and burgundy red the extra chrome looks good.
