Converting a 1986 Carrera to an RS, is it possible?

From what I can see the challenges seem to be the front fenders (wings) and the bonnet. I have a car in mind but just wanted to know how difficult it was? Thanks!

do a search here for backdate and you will see what is involved.

We have performed quite a few conversions over the years. Basically you have to decide how detailed and "correct" you wish to make the car. The closer to definitive RS, the more $$$ you will put in

Stay away from that terrible backdate kit sold in the UK. It makes the car look like a Covin 911
