Radio is "Retro Radio" I believe from the USA by Retro Manufacturing 7470 Commercial Way Henderson NV 89011. it fitted straight into the cut out that Marcos made in his 3D printed grille. It also has bluetooth for phone calls

Not sure what you mean Chris.
Drew ...the car left Germany as a "Polaris Silver" then when it went to California one of the owners changed it to "Fjord Blue"........so with non matching Nos engine or colour I decided on Turkis 065.......have to say was a little apprehensive at first.
You have a four slat grille which in 74 was black plastic slats, yours must wrapped with chrome tape? Early coupes have five slats and were polished alu.
Oh...ok....no I had it chromed........there is a mob here in South Australia that does plastic chroming....they are very good and do jobs all around the world I believe. (its not cheap but excellent work) BTW the vertical body part between the kidney and the outer grille with the headlights I had reinforced with steel rod as its seemed a bit flimsy when we were doing the body fab work.
That's great Paul, how the hell am I supposed to post pics of mine after this?
Guess who else has those!
C'mon....just do it
Ooh la la! Magnifíque!
A Turkis Buddy on the loose. Absolutely stunning!
Side pipes and the coolest, most subtle air dam I have seen. I could go for that!

I've seen both the Munich car and Paul's. Paul's is the boss. . It looks quite blueish in the pics in this thread. I think the shot of the hinge end of the inside of the bonnet in the tenth picture down is the closest to the in person colour. When you see the car the colour fills your eye sockets.

tks....I wasn't aware they could be bought new........I shall look into it.....groaaaan more money
Only problem I have is my shock towers have been reinforced and will not fit the "elephant skin recess" too easily
It's a funny thing... digital cameras don't seen to know how to interpret Turkis. Depending on light to an extent, and I think camera sensor to a large extent, it can look very different under different conditions. Paul's camera is doing a pretty good job, but in-person, it's something special!
Wow - stunning! Congrats on great work.
I believe original elephant skin is more flexible, may work better on your reinforced towers. And the new stuff is visually and texturally different.
