    What tail should I fit?

    IMG_5208 (2).jpg

    Yes I know - such a first world problem!

    I blame my 2 enablers for this dilemna - David Withers and Sean Perkin.

    The car currently has 3litre Turbo Tail installed.

    So the poll is - which engine lid to fit.

    1. Leave 3 litre Turbo Tail on.

    2. Duck tail.

    3. Flat lid.

    Pics attached, and let the fun begin.

    Will be interesting how this comes back, and whether it conforms with my current thinking.

    Compliments of the season

      Awful full Black rubber tail which is off the car, and in storage.

      plan on keeping that as its original to the car, but I’m not a fan of it.

        I prefer the look of the flat lid. My 3.2 still runs the original big plastic tail because I can't bring myself to make it non-original.

              Tough choice, but if I had to choose I’d vote for the flat lid

                Tough choice indeed - I change my mind a few times a week at the moment.

                Hence the question here.

                    I actually grew to like the rare rubber tail.
                    The detail the factory went to make/mount to the lid was quite an effort.
                    Heavy tho and in wrong area for weight distribution,but so were sport seats (heavy).

                      Flat lid for me, about to change over the tail on my '89 3.2 to a flat lid as well

                            I approve of both Sean….

                            think the flat lid you gave me with the car will be going back on for a stretch.
