996 early C2 - Ownership/project thread (cobalt blue)

That doesn't look half bad actually. I think as long as you get the nose of the car sitting low enough it should look ok.
The standard ride heights on the cars in the pic leave a bit of a gap under still, sort of like mine at the moment as I haven't added my splitter yet.

I'd go for that if it was upto £150. Anything more and I think I'd wait and get an Aerokit bumper for £300-£600.

MRC rings a bell for the RS6 yes. It does sound tuneless, I agree. I'd hoped it would sound better being an adaption of the Gallardo engine but it's not as wow as the power figures would suggest. One hell of a daily car though.

Your model S4/RS4 actually sounds nicer eh Graeme. Anyway back on topic...
 
:floor:

A snip at £750. I think that's the rare lightweight Motorsport one, constructed from Porsche racing duct tape. Worth a tenth of a second a lap alone.

The one I sold for £180 reappeared for some silly figure like £500. :frustrated:
It was a fair price at £180. Why do chancers think Porsche owners are stupid with their money.
It was black with a long crack on and around the chin area where it went over something. All the rest (front, sides and top) just had light scratches. It would have plastic welded perfectly.
It's a pity people try and take the piss.

I actually really like those mk2 look ones but that fit the Mk1 headlights. Blatantly not oem though and for some daft reason I've really turned into a purist these last few years.... yet only on certain things.

It's weird, I'll fit a set of blantantly aftermarket suspension, seats and steering wheel, yet my teeth itch when I see LED bulbs in a car that's meant to have halogen. :puh:
 
Picked up a set of Panamera wheels again so if the splits sell I have another set to run. Fitted this morning and really like them.

They look great. You might be on to something there!
How do panamera wheels compare fitment wise? Looking online it seems the rears are 9" wide and the fronts would need spacers. What was your experience?

Yes 9in rears but using same size tyres so that fine. Rear wheels outer edge is same as STD 10in rears. Front do definitely need a spacer. I've got 15mm on all round at the moment and they are fine.
 
wait... do i have deja-vu?

Look great. What size tyres are you running? Do you know the weight of the panamera wheels?

EDIT: Just seen your original thread that answers my questions http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=124176

Do you use longer bolts with the spacers?
 
Quick run today for some food shopping so tried to get some better photos. Also I saw a full aerokit car yesterday for the first time in a while and it look great, god I cant make my mind up.
