These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So I'm looking for an OEM trunk lid for my C4S in order to replace the fake turbo lid installed by first owner. I saw several lids here and there, even same year, but saw that some have the insert for the red light bar (sorry for the bad English - I hope you understand what I'm talking about ) and most don't. So, can someone confirm that the 2002 Carrera doesn't have that red bar? Only the C4S ?? Does it mean I can only take a S lid ? thanks for enlighting my poor mind

POST 2Original post

you can't put a regular Carrera lid (without the red reflector) because the taillights are also different on the 4S. Just get a new or used 4S lid...better looking and better for the value of the car. Only the 4S had the red reflector and that's what makes them a bit more unique IMHO.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK thanks, it's what I thought. I don't want non OEM body parts on the car. I'm going to ask the garage to put a new lid in place and get it painted and adjusted, then I will sleep on the two ears !
