Not sure whether we've had a this thread on the 996 forum before, seemed to be quite good on the 993 forum IIRC, and whatever they can do I'm sure we can do better :thumbs:
Would be good not just to have suggestions but also some links/fitting tips/pitfalls etc etc
(and anyway, it's either this or another thread on prices...)
So, I'm going to kick off with...
1) PIAA wipers - far and away the best wiper out there. If you don't have them you'll probably be thinking the new set of Bosch one's from Halfords are just fine thanks (and you'd be wrong). If you do have them, you'll know what I mean! Around £20 each, but well worth it.
You'll need 22" all round, super sporza for the drivers side and rear and curved for the passenger's side.
Here's a link: http://www.piaa.co.uk/wipers/wipershow.asp?make=PORSCHE&model=911+[996+Series]&year=03%2F96-03%2F04
Even better is just to get the replacement inserts so you can keep the OE frames (though the PIAA frames are pretty good quality). Give the above distributor a call (they're based near Bristol) or a Google search reveals several UK stockists. There seemed to be a UK shortage a few months ago after a warehouse fire but I still managed to find a set.
What's next?
