Pro-9 in Birmingham, UK ? They are the only place I can find that sells 924 front fenders in fiberglass. Not interested in 944 style. Also they seem to be WAAAAY cheaper for everything else than say ,GT-Racing. Like, way cheaper. Any ways I will probably be in the UK in March and if they are decent quality I was thinking of buying a complete car worth of fiberglass.
Thanks,Leigh

As far as I am aware Pro 9 don't make their wings. I think I'm right in that Club Autosport do or they both get them from a Birmingham'ish' maker. I think there is only one set of molds/maker in the UK
http://www.clubautosport.co.uk/GRP%20PRICES.htm
I hear from a racer that the wings take a bit of fettling to fit for a race car let alone for a road car.

I think anything like that needs a fair bit of working to make it look right. I saw a 951 that belongs to a local Porsche shop owner here, and one of his mechanics told me to install the full GT-Racing fiberglass body and make it right took them roughly 200 shop hours. Crazy, but it did look GOOD. As long as the quality is there I don't mind paying to have it installed properly. Just don't want to spend my money on junk quality parts is all and that stuff is nearly 1/2 of what GT-Racing sells it for.
Be nice to shave another couple hundred pounds or so...

CCP Fabrication.
Contact Paul Kostopoulos there. He is a good guy and his fiberglass is pretty good quality from the limited stuff I've seen. He has a DProd(ish) kit that a few guys here have purchased with pretty good reviews.
Last I spoke with him (in November) he didn't have molds for the narrow body fenders, but if someone sent him a pair, I'm pretty sure he'd be willing to pop some out for you, and it would probably be cheaper than ordering from Europe / UK.
If you're serious about pursuing this, I have a pair of like-new fenders, and I would consider sharing the cost of shipping to get them to Paul to help the cause. It would be nice to have standard narrow body fenders available.

He has some nice looking stuff. I dig the race dash for the 924/944.
