| Post subject: | Rear Wheel Arch Linings on an S4 |
Can anyone tell me what the deal is with the wheel arch linings on the rear of a 928 S4. Are they similar on both sides? On the passenger side there appears to be a front lining and a rear lining. The two parts together protect the whole wheel arch. Is this the same on the driver’s side? There doesn't appear to be a rear lining on the driver’s side. I don't know if that is supposed to be there or not. I read a comment somewhere suggesting the rear part was only on one side to protect some hardware on that side. The reason I ask is I was involved in a small rear end shunt recently that upset the wheel linings. I don't know if that bit came out and got lost or if it should never have been there in the first place. Thi bit in question is this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-PORSC ... 0971938773 Cheers, Mike |

I had thought about making one using the passenger side rear as a template, and find some suitable black plastic.., so to re=cap there are only 3 protectors in total ? crazy really as it would protect the petrol filler/cap area .

Thanks Ken. I won't beat the mechanic up about replacing a part that wasn't there to begin with. Seems odd that Porsche didn't put one there. |
