@Ringmaster999you can definitely pull off the gt4 front with x73, upgrading the bumper was the best thing I've done, the change is significant.

 

Along with the side scoops I think it’ll look spot on 👍

Colours and material but you want a 95b one, the later one looks the same and almost is but sadly mounting points are different.

I’ve got 982 880 201 B 5Q0 in my basket - this not any good then?

Appreciate the help ☺️

I think it would look great as it needs the lower suspension, you may still have your bottoming out issues though but I’m sure you could get round it 👌

Looks ok to me but not 100% sure I'm learning this as I go, as long as you pair it with a 718 wheel it looks ok.

Thanks, it’s from a Cayman and the 982 model denomination looks correct.

There are a few companies that can do alcantara retrimming of the airbag cover.

Here you go:

<981 Bulb Table>

Looks like WY, 21W to me.

Take two on the side vents, I’ve painted them in the variant colour which is plus yellow.

Hopefully this will be a slightly better match as the standard colour was a bit stark and too white 🤞

29,000 miles

 

OK, I'll fess up, I didn't do all those miles today.

 

I didn't even do the large majority of them, but it's just ticked over another thousand marker, which I actually enjoy.  To a large extent making use of this car was the biggest reason for buying it in the first place after the last one became a bit too precious.  I'm not sure if it would be de-valuing it much but equally I don't care because it's well worth the cost.  I didn't want this to be a garage queen like the last one, didn't want to use that four letter swearword over winter... S.O.R.N.   

[Raffe]

Long time dead, enjoy all your toys 👍

I’ve thrown caution to the wind and ordered a new 718 GT Steering wheel in Alcantara from Design911 😬

[Rob™]

Wasn't today, but on Sunday morning... but I wheel span (spun?) whilst trying to get through my gates and then skidded all over the place, even with winter wellies on.

I got round to assembling and fitting the side scoops today. A little bit fiddly and a bit cold for the tape but I got round it👍

I think they work well with the splitter and definitely look better in body colour (or as close as I could get to it 😂)

Overall quite a enjoyable little project, not too expensive and reversible if I change my mind.

Anyone thinking about fitting these I would recommend buying them already painted, buying some proper 10mm 3m vhb tape and be very careful removing your oem vents so you don’t lose any securing tabs😎

[Patt]

That works better than I expected.  good job sir

..took another frosty picture earlier this week:

Excellent job Gareth. Awesome. Now just a speed test to confirm they’ll stay on and RESULT. I’ll have to get on with mine now. 😂😂

You didn’t go with some mesh over the inlet after?

I bought some Mesh and made a template but I really couldn’t be bothered in the end 😂
