The difference is that those headlamp surrounds are not the same as what's in the Carrera kit. Look closely at the boxart illustration and my model...Porsche used a thicker/tapered body color headlight surround on the standard Carreras (or at least some of them). The area Po9r1s1che describes as gray is inside the actual surround, but outside of the glass lense itself, which is recessed within the surround. The model doesn't accurately portray this as the lense itself is a bit large, leaving no inner exposed ring to paint gray or silver and the lense is barely recessed-it's almost flush. The examples you show are of a different lense, one that is 3 dimensional and extends outwards from the thin surround. I googled my way to some '85 Porsche pics, it's hard to find many w/the surrounds as seen on the '85 model but you can find them. Many of the Fujimi Porsche 911 models come w/multiple variations of headlight surrounds and lenses in the same kit.
Po9r1s1che used to own a guards red Carrera very much like my model, he knows his 911's. If my model had a black interior it would be fairly close.
