Hello

Some time ago I read that the hood handles can be different from vendor
to vendor.
I would like to add a gasket under this handle on my 2008 VS, does anyone know if the one in my link here fits VS ?
(I have got a small crack in my paint since there is no gasket today )

That looks like the gasket set (mine was from NLA) that I installed on my VS for the same reason you mentioned - to hide a paint chip. The set fit without modification and the only problem I had was unscrewing the nut holding the front of the handle to the hood. The latching mechanism's nuts make for really close quarters and I think I resorted to using a thin crescent wrench from a bicycle toolset to unscrew it.
Klasse has good stuff and so does Stoddard's. I got mine from one of those two years ago and they fit without modification. Also sprung up for genuine Porsche seals for door handles (the repros that came with the car deteriorated instantly) as well as for the horn grilles and the rear engine compartment grille. They do make up for a nice finished look in the car.
