Tail light chrome surround.

Were any of these tear drop chrome surrounds ever originally fitted without the SWF logo and part # imprinted. I had someone state that European model were plain chrome. I have a great deal of trouble believing that statement.

I can't believe that either David. No way Porsche would maintain separate inventory on an item as simple as that. Check to see what your source had been smoking.....

Thats what I said Wes but this was supposedly a higher end restoration shop. Not 356 specific however.

"Higher" being the key word. The idea just doesn't make sense. I bet they didn't have a reliable reference for the info. Kind of sounds as if it was somebody's reason for using a repro item on a restoration.
