DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I am thinking about replacing the rear lenses on my 2.4S as the black edging is a bit patchy & they have the usual cracks around the mounting screws.

Who makes the best ( most original) replacement black edged rear lenses?

Bosch !

there are cheaper repro's available but i found the fit/colour wasnt quite right, probably ok for a daily, but for a car as nice as yours I'd say get Bosch ones, just my tuppence worth.

Look here:

are the '73 lenses 'exactly' the same as used for later cars?

I got my ('72) silver edged front lenses from Mittelmotor. Seemed the best price by some margin at the time. They are genuine Bosch. Same probably applies for the rear ones.

I'm fairly sure that the lenses are the same from '73-'89 - the later lamp bodies are slightly different & have additional wiring but are interchangeable.

hi Gary what sorta price are the silver lense ones, i am after some for my 69.. have you a web site for them or telephone number??

ta bazz

Gary - I may be wrong but the lenses I have had from Mittelmotor (& Lenz-Trend, Feboe, Eurocar Parts, Roger Bray, Partsource, etc) were repros...

Maybe Andy, but they were in a Bosch bag with Bosch markings?:)

How would I tell?

Bazz, the link is:

Then go to 'webshop is online' '911' 'electrical parts' 'lights' 'rear lights' The front lenses can be found in the rear section as well

There are certainly a lot of repro front early lenses around but the rears should be genuine as they cover such a wide model year range (73 -88)

my rear lense has just cracked

where is the best place in the UK to get some genuine Bosch rear lenses?

i got some from porsche maindealers 76£ each
