Option Code question - Not what you think!

Given I'm the guy who built the first and best online Porsche Option Code decoder (Porsche Option Decoder) you'd think I wouldn't be asking option code questions. But then you'd be wrong.

I was reviewing the options on my car today (using my trusty decoder!) and realized something I never noticed before:

Two of the most prominent options my car had from the factory are not represented:
  1. Sunroof delete
  2. 15" Fuchs

I had it in my head that these were options (e.g. the sunroof & 16" Fuchs were standard).

Can someone with an '87-'89 Carrera WITH a sunroof and WITH 16" Fuchs please verify that YOUR option code sticker includes:
  • 650 Sunroof
  • 393 Forged wheel 8J/9Jx16

If you don't have 393 listed, what option DO you have listed for wheels?

Thanks!

I haven't paid much attention to option code stickers; where would I find it? Mine is an '88 with sunroof, but came with 6&7X16s.

'88 Carrera Cab, so I can't help with the sunroof But the wheels were 6&7x16 Fuchs, with option code 395 (Light metal wheels-forged).

I would expect the option code 393 (Forged wheel 8J/9Jx16) would be for a wide bodied car (Turbo & Turbo-look). But I guess one could get it on a standard body also.

Wavey - option code sticker would be in the car's Warranty & Maintenance book and on the underside of the hood.
Charlie - I sent you an email with a PDF list of option codes you might useful.
