    Hoping someone can help with the front tyre well on my 308. I think there's some trim missing that normally hides the hoses, cables etc as shown in the attached pic? Anybody got a pic of their car as a ref and a description of what goes there? From my memory of other cars I think it might be some vinyl covering? Thanks very much.

    There should be a piece of black vinyl glued on the back of the fiberglass cover that covers all that is exposed

    Yes I've searched google and failed to find a pic. I found a few with the skirt missing haha. Mines a 1979 308 GTS so maybe the skirt came later?

    It's the opposite, the early 76 -77s had a half circle zipper closure over the spare tire, and a soft washer bag for wwindhield.

    With the change to a hard bottle for the windshield wipers in 1978, the design changed to a hard plastic liner.
    I'm not sure how the closure p[late on the plastic liner loks..

    This pic is an 85 QV in need of attention in the area;

    The material is simply glued to the back side along 1- 2" of overlap. The bottom edge is folded back & stitched with black thread.

    Thanks everyone. Fun find. I took the ashtray out to tidy up the vinyl around it and found a business card underneath of a previous owner, Henry Pearman of Eagle E Types. Image Unavailable, Please Login
