A bit of a request and feedback from you lovely people.......
As most of you know i Own a white 944 '84' lux...Now my dilemma is i quite fancy a rear splitter on it to tidy the back end up but i cant seem to decided on which one..........

Thats where you fellow 944 owners come in.............

I am considering either the slotted rear splitter or the 2 piece splitter....

Can all those that dont mind helping me post up piccies of the rear of your 44's so i can compare against the 2. And if you have any advice or comments i will gladly listen to what you say.


Thanks in advance

Saz

Mine has a slotted rear valance on it but I'm still undecided whether I like it or not. Tempted to go for a turbo style two-price version instead but I think getting it back on the road should be my first job.

Thanks Rob.
Its just just the fact that i really dont know, i know that if i go for the slotted one it will be more in keeping with the age of the car which is what Colt wants me to do, but i like the look of the turbo 2 piece.

Exactly the same as I feel about mine. Not sure whether to keep it as an 83 car would be or modernise certain parts to drag it out of the 80s. Looks like some idiot tried and failed by painting my rear lights completely black :roll:

I was thinking that the back of mine needs something to hide the spare wheel and petrol tank.
The slotted rear valance doesn't look to add much to the car where-as the turbo does look far better.
Although the turbo two piece was for the later model, the look suits the early cars and will be my choice for next year. :bounce:

There aren't many rear shots on the TIPEC photo galleries but might help to have a quick look.
There is a photo of a white 944 with the two piece turbo spoiler on there :!:

Well a decision has been made....I think.....

LOL

as much as i like both choices of the splitters i have to say that it was looking at JJ's that has actually that tipped it.

So it looks like i will be looking to invest in a slotted rear splitter in the not so distant future.

So thanks again guys.................

But having said that i may have another problem that may require your help :wink:
