Totally true. I was aware of these omissions before purchasing and decided to go with it. 

Thanks for your comments. I appreciate the knowledge of this group without slamming the lack of original details on my car. That’s one of the reasons I joined this forum. Much more accepting than some others I have been on through the years!

Welcome! As prior 912 owner and current Porschephile, I can relate. Personally, I left the originalists (wow, good word) behind years ago. Me and my cars are too old (and I'm too cheap!) to give a rats ass and besides, I like what I like.

 

The knee trim, side reflectors, side blinkers (and console btw) all scream 'add-ons' for safety, looks or convenience reasons, and I don't like them. Mine are gone, along with some other personal choices. Have I sacrificed value? Well, we all know the market prefers purity and originality. I don't. I've made my bed and now I'm sleeping in it, in 2 911's and a tii. So be it. They're mine, for now.

BTW, in case you elect, there is very inexpensive and almost indistinguishable from OEM stick-on belt line trim, which would allow you to not drill 50 holes in your car.

Very nice!

 

Consider keeping the period correct Overrider bar. Fairly rare and a nice place to mount accesory lights

 

If you really don't want it I'll buy it

 

Also we're gonna need more pics of this beauty....

Just ran across this ad on CL for 2002 parts, including front and rear overrider bars.  They are in Vancouver, WA.

Ray, Are you talking about the stick on chrome side trim product? I was told that it looks great initially but “weathers” over a short period of time. Regardless I am always interested to hear from others about their experiences. 

Right, I  think. 

 

I haven't heard about the weathering issue. I wonder if a spritz of clear urethane would mitigate that. 

 

Cheers,

Ray

There are at least a couple threads — if you can find them — that discuss the stick-on trim in detail. I also don’t recall discussions about the weathering but.... (a.) you could revive one of these threads to discuss the issue; or (b.) you could contact one of the many users and inquire with a PM.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
