Hi all,
I am restoring a Daytona coupe.
It is not a factory five,just another brand.
Now the problem I have is parts!
I have ordered headlight lens covers and quarter windows in 2020 at the European distributor.
Until now no succes.
I know there is a problem getting parts but this is getting stupid.
Can somebody please help me?
Or do I have to mail directly to factory five?
Hoping for a solution

I would definitely suggest contacting FFR directly.
But, are you sure the FFR parts going to fit your non-FFR car???
Every manufactures body is different than any other manufacturer, so I wouldn't count on those parts fitting.

My thoughts as well.
Is there a builders forum or Facebook group for the make of replica you have? If so, you may find sources for what you need, that will fit your replica.

Agreed if its a Superformace for example the body proportions are different than the FF Coupe, believe the FF is slightly larger overall.

Thank you for replying,
The European distributor confirmed they the parts would fit.
