Hi everybody
I've got a question
I've got a 1979 924 and i want him at his original state
but i looked at some photo's of 924's but at the older models the window striping is chrome/metal-look and at the newer models the striping is black.
At the striping on my windows some paint came loose. And i want to know if mine 1979 924 has original black or metallook striping.
Does anyone know this or is there a webpage with this information, i cant find it anywhere

Best regards
Marty

I am pretty sure the side window surrounds were chrome through 1979, in 1980 there was a switch to black...

I think Chrenan is right. I think they switched to black in '80.

well 50-50 chrome - black

I'll change it to chrome, it will give a more classical look!
