New lurker here, soon to be first time Z owner. Looked at a Pearl Yellow NA about 15 years ago before I bought by 16V Mercedes 190E instead.

Now looking for a TT car. Probably going to pick up a bit of a beater in a 5 speed for now until i'm convinced I want it long term.

Just getting into this i'm wondering where the best source for parts at a reasonable price will be? OEM/equiv as well as performance? It appears there are wide variances in price.

Also looking fora F40 style spoiler. Where might one find a wing?

How are the OEM colors for paint matching? It looks like there is a bit of a pearl in the black car I am looking at. Looks to be OEM but not certian.

Thanks!

Welcome aboard.

There's no "one source" for parts for a Z32 - it's a 'shop around' thing.... The big F40 wings for the Z32 were a big deal 15 years ago, haven't seen one lately. Again, that's probably a shop around (or ebay) thing.

OEM color code will be on a decal in the driver door jamb - If you don't know if it's been repainted, that'd be a red flag.

The "F40" looking wing you are reffering to may be the Stillen GTZ.
