I look ever higher, afterall a new 911 was less than a quattro in 1983.
Ur-q owners should be of the Porsche level where a blank check is signed,
dated and presented without any questions asked... 
I am sure then we could have all the spare parts we would ever want.. ;)

That my friends is the fundamental difference between an E30 M3 owner and an
UrQ owner.

or scan one in, it should be doable.  I wonder if color might be an issue.
If they are not available, and there might be some interest in a group buy
to get the costs down, I'm more than willing to be the "boots on the ground"
