hopefully just bought a Porsche GTS GT2 GT3 GTS  MF steering wheel with paddles and airbag.  I already have the MF and paddles on the black plastic wheel.   

So just read through the whole thread,  I just need the adapter and its a straight swap over?

so woke up early and its a job ive been wanting to do and was kind of deliberating whether to do it, i'll always get myself in a mess.  anyway watch a few youtube videos and thought id give it a go, wish i had a mini rachet torx kit but managed anyway.  what do they say about a man and his tools! 

OCD kicked in and had to clean it all aswell,  very dirty under those covers especially as its not done many miles.

anyway wasnt that bad at all, just torx screws, the hardest bit was the clips either side holding the wiring against the side of the bumper took me ages to free them.  Anyway its off and i will get that sent off for painting at some stage.  when i get it back i have some black aluminium mesh on order and i will put that over the front grills,  basically as i found a hug flying (dead) bug in the radiator I have no idea what it is maybe a june bug.   

GTS diffuser on order so rear bumper off for that aswell.  then its wheels for a refurb and i think im pretty much there.

Decided against the mesh covers that day due to not being happy with the material I got, have now ordered a second type to see if I’m happier with that....

 

 

what mesh did you go for, seem some on ebay and not sure if 1m x 25cm is large enough or just go for the 1m x 40cm as im too lazy to go out to the garage to measure the grille.

thanks,  ive just got the cubby hole in mine i want the lid on mine think that makes its look alot neater.

took the day off work,  got loads done today.   Nice to know when porsche checked the battery they must have crossed threaded the bolt as it just spins round so somehow ive got to get it off and fit a newone.

Fitted the painted roll hoops,   My fault that i didnt get the wings that pop up when the roof it lowered but i actually prefer it that way now.   Had a nightmare getting them back together,  went off for a cup of tea then tried again then heard that satisfying pop as they go together.

Also fitted red seats,  nice and easy job, although i forgot to re fit the plugs on one side so had to take all the trim off again and make sure that was fitted.  Makes a world of difference to the cabin.  

Next on the list is wheels probably grey, and GTS diffuser.
