As per the title.

Need a steer on where to start looking for this? any links etc... appreciated!

The car is black, looking for a kit ideally in black, preferably in perfect condition although respraying the kit and/or car is an option.

Based in Glasgow, can anyone recommend a good bodyshop & paintshop to do the work once I obtain a kit?

Thanks - Ben

There isn't a kit as such.

Assuming you don't have a supersport then you need new rear wings for a start....... it's cheaper to go by a turbo or widebody to start with.

You have to ask why?

You can roll the rear arches to pull them out a bit.

Slantnose side trim, turbo bumper/splitter to complete the make over.

You can get weld on arches to convert it to a wide body shell.

I actually have a surplus bodykit to turn a pre 89 wide body car into a 964 Turbo S, includes front and rear bumpers, along with side skirts. Quite a rare kit, but I have no use for it, so it is up for sale.
