Rear Center Reflector mania

[Hoffe]

Hi all!

This is my first post in this forum. *looks around and amazes at the amount of knowledge concentrated to these pages*

Ahem, let's go. I have a 911 CS -79 (Targa) with a cracked Rear Reflector (The one between the rear lights). The are kinda hard to get (and kinda expensive).
Since I'm pretty much a newbie in the Porsche-scene I'd like to know from which Porsche models I can strip for this part, and put it onto my cars. (No, I won't steal part dang it, I'm trying to find used ones.)

I assume all these reflectors from cars '74-'86 fits bolt on on my car, but how about the '87-'89 reflector? Can this one be modified
to fit? How about the Turbo versions?
Probably I can get one from a Turbo '87, will this fit without major modifications?

Any help deeply appreciated. If you have no idea what part I'm talking about it's this one:


I hope you can live with my english, I'm swede.

EDIT: Just to make sure: It's not my car on that picture.

Hej Hoffe,

Kul med ytterligare en svensk här!

I replaced the reflector on my 72 (which has the 74-89 bumpers) with a 87-89 reflector - looks way cooler!
BUT - it was a bit of a pain to get it there , and I've had a heck of a time trying to get it to sit vertical (aligned with the rear lights).
So, the answer is - yes, you CAN do it, but it's a bit tricky.

(it probably makes a difference that the reflector I bought had the integrated fog lights, I think you can get reflectors that doesn't have them).

Men hej! Imponerande hemsida, vi måste mötas upp någon dag och diskutera vingens vara eller icke vara på Targa-bilarna.

Thanks a lot for your reply, I'll give the '87 Turbo reflector a try then. Thanks for the warning, I'll boost up my patience-motivator before starting.
I'll keep you guys updated, hopefully I can try this this weekend. I'm heading for my first.. uhm.. inspection(? "annual statutory car-inspection" ( I have no idea what this is called in english, but besiktning in swedish)) with this car next tuesday, and I want my baby to be in perfect condition by then.

Hi!

I ordered the '87 Turbo-reflector just 15 minutes ago, and I'll give it a try before I buy anything else. Thanks anyway Joebenz!

And congratulations to dave cardone.
