SC/Carrera Rear Flares installed on Front

Anyone? Got Pics? Searched and found none. I know I've seen one on eBay a couple of years ago (should have saved the pic).

Photoshop it? I was looking at the early ST front flares and noted that they aren't "round" like an SC's fronts, they looked more like the rears..

Thanks. Same thinking here. That's why I think the SC rear flare might work. Don't know how to photoshop.

Ok, I grafted the rear wheel arch onto the front of my SC to give you an idea.

Cheers,

Craig, thanks. I think it looks good though not fully round which may be a good thing once matched with ST rear flares which aren't exactly round as well. Beautiful car btw.

Right they're more squared flares in the front. Wouldn't it be easier to find ST front fenders/wings?

Thanks btw, I've wanted a black SC or Carrera hotrod or white early R since I was a kid. I've modded a few cars and a lot of bikes in my time and none have been as fulfilling as 911 ownership.

Let me know if I can help again.

Cheers,

- Craig_D

Yes ST front flares are available but I feel they're too wide and square for me. Thanks again.
