Saw this nice rep for sale on ebay, thought you'd like to see the pics
apparently used to belong to the actor Freddie Prinze Jr, whoever that is?

Do a Google on him ..has some success as an actor does not say he owned a speedster mind you
I think that is stunning I love the colour used to have a 911 3.2 carrera in a similar colour .Where do you get those headlight covers from, prefer them to the mesh ones ,and would get rid of the black speakers and the radio to modern looking .

Thats really nice!
The radio and speakers would be gone though!
Really like the finish on the bonnet interior wish i could find somewhere to get supply that to me!
I cant even find automotive carpet to make my own!

Do you have the links to the other suppliers please as £120 and £328 for the mesh ones seems a bit steep ,perhaps I am out of touch with prices having never had to buy anything for the speedster since owning it

The mesh ones are crazy money for a couple of sieves basically
The headlight grilles your after are pretty much all around hundred quid ish a pair, the ones I've seen are anyway, (I haven't looked around extensively tho) sorry I don't have any other links for you.
Edit- ask in the 356 forum, I'm sure someone can help you out.

I think they are getting confused with frankie muniz (malcolm of malcolm in the middle) he was known to have a couple of replicas.
