Type911 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 They might have improved, I had them a good few years ago, they were too big and very floppy, no tape on the back either. Never had an issue with the light units, good value when you compare to originals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had an issue with the light units, good value when you compare to originals! Still no tape on the back but neither did the SC original ones - all fitted with impact adhesive. Quality is no better/worse than the Porsche version IMO but the main thing (for me at least) is they match the original design well. Each to their own.😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicestershire Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 At the risk of pi**ing off more folk....... Get JG to chuck a market value on this. Would expect you to get nibbles on this if listed at early £50 and complete the sale around the upper mid £40’s. Now is the right time to list a classic Targa.

All the best Andrew I see, the speedy sale had an undertone of something else going on. Good luck getting fixed up, hopefully the sofa and daytime TV will bore you to tears and drive you back into the garage for for some me-time 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
