[urq] goofy fenders?

[Louis-Alain_Richard at computerhorizons.com]

Last year, a strange looking Nogaro-blue Quattro followed me; after 
chatting with the driver, it appeared that the car was a CGT with a 
fiberglass body kit copying the Quattro fenders and bumpers. It was nicely 
finished, nice paint and cool BBS RX 17", but proportions were obviously 
wrong. Rear track was too narrow, fenders were too wide, the radius of the 
"flares" was too soft. etc.

WRT this NV car: look at the width of the OEM urQ fender flares (the 
horizontal part of the flare)... Aren't they a little thin ? It might be a 
genuine urQ, rusted or damaged, with some fiberglass repro fenders that 
needed that extension to clear the wheels.

Also: why would a guy replace the boost gauge with a temp gauge AFTER 
drilling 4 big holes in his dashboard, where the first one is ALREADY a 
temp gauge? I guess this way a fool won't notice the absence of turbo 
boost...because there is no turbo under the hood maybe?

Anybody in RENo can check in out ?

It looks like the fenders began life as normal urq fenders but then
someone added the standard CGT fender treatment on top of them.  Very
unusual.  And not all that evenly executed, at least from what can be
seen in the pictures.  I'm not sure I'd have a problem with it if the
rest of the car was solid.
