Interiors & Exteriors / Color of tail light blinkers?
Last post by Jan S - 16 September 2023, 01:55 PMI have a 1975 450 SE US-version with yellow/orange front and tail blinkers.
Does that mean my blinkers are in fact EURO-version ... since US-tail light blinkers are red? Is that correct?
Background: I need to find a new/used right tail light lens ... and I need one with yellow blinker.

Interiors & Exteriors / Driver Footwell Panels
Last post by raueda1 - 16 September 2023, 12:15 PMDuring a recent move I somehow lost a box with all the driver's footwell panels. They had been removed to get to the cruise control stuff (which I've since given up on 
). Per "footwell" picture, it's all gone. As far as I know, there are 3 pieces: the fuzzy cover, the vent thing (both in the picture) and a complicated fiber panel (ordered and in. the mail). As far as I can tell the panel is P/N 116 680 3517. A couple questions:

Obviously, if anybody has the right fabric panel please let me know! The fabric should be of the short, dense variety same as what's in the footwell. What I got is something with a looser and longer nap. Thanks as always! Cheers,

- Is there anything I'm missing? I'm confident that I can put it back together when I have it all in hand.
- The fuzzy panel (116 680 5317?) is the wrong color. Seems to be Tobacco, should be Parchment or light beige or whatever the light tan interior color is. Now the search is on to find the right color. Failing that, does anybody know if these fabrics can be dyed or otherwise recolored?

Interiors & Exteriors / Re: What a difference
Last post by ptashek - 15 September 2023, 01:40 PMQuote from: marku on 11 September 2023, 09:13 AMI have been looking at these caps for so long and they looked so bad I finally decided to get them plated. Look at them now and what a difference on the car. Did take them once with other things to a plater well known in the classic car world here and they refused to do the die-cast pieces so I walked out. No problem with these platers they will do them. So the car is going to get a makeover.
Can you share details of the platers please?

Excellent point... have rumb and Eyeman ever been spotted in the same room at the same time???

Last post by LazyLightning - 15 September 2023, 12:39 PMQuote from: Eyeman on 14 September 2023, 06:36 PMGreat looking car Lazy, congrats. I had to add my cars to my profile. Funny how people tend to like similar cars. My 968 coupe is listed in the classified area of Rennlist, it has even lighter colored seats than your SE. Porsche called it light gray, but it's nearly white.
Totally! I've noticed that too about people's car tastes (and sometimes car tastes are even predictive of taste in music I've found!) - in my line of work we would call this "linkage disequilibrium"...
I love 968's! So far I've only owned 911's but one of these days I hope to get my hands on one.
