Ideas? G50 torsion bar hole covers

[tpweiss9953]

Having turbo flares added to a G50 car and leaving the rockers off. Has anyone created a nice cover for the "horseshoe" shaped hole or a cover that makes the hole look similar to non G50 cars?

Good luck with that!
I have been trying to find a set of these cover plates for a set of G50 turbo flares for a couple of years. They are NLA as new parts, but I did manage to get one of them through PP.
It's so long since I worked on the car I can't remember which side I still need, but if you find some, I'd be interested if they are surplus to your needs.

same as fuchs center caps: leave them away, reduces weight :-)

I'm assuming you're referring to the stock covers that came on the turbo and TL's? I would suspect you could get them from one of the dismantlers.

I will say these don't look all that good without the rocker covers - I ran my car for a year or two without the covers, and the rockers really dont' look 'finished at all. the torsion bar covers fit 'ok, but there are big slots for the screws, they don't look like they fit all that good, etc.

If it was me, I'd look into the newer 993 style turbo rocker covers - very sleek IMHO.
