Body Styling for 1987 CGT

[Kjarri]

Thanks for the help Paul.

But after few hours more of searching the Internet
I finally found body styling kits for Audi Coupe GT.
The price on these things are very high, (body styling
costs twice as much as my car) but I'm going to order
this anyway for my car.

Here you can find spoiler kits for Audi Coupe GT:

http://www.rieger-tuning.net

Some of these sites are in swedish....

Best whises
