Boba I agree, I know we are thinking the same as someone who has only fitted half an aero kit in the picture

From that angle I dont hate it but from side and behind shot it would look like it was missing something but thats just MyOp, it might work better on a fat bum car than a narrow bum with no rear spoiler as it would look a bit better balanced. There are plenty that like the aero/gt3 front but don't really like big wings on modern pork. :thumb:

That picture is not inspiring me at all !!

It looks like a 996 conversion at best with the light covers you get to hide the Fried eggs to finish it off. I think they look better with a contrast.

Not sure these are for me now but thanks to you and CarreraMonkey for the input and pictures.

I do think they look better on light coloured cars for sure.
 
OK, so I've got 10 sets of these (in black) coming over. They gave me a small discount (free shipping) so we're looking at £55 a set inc. UK postage.

WildeJ and I are down for a set each. JohnH has one reserved if he wants it.

I'm thinking I'll give people on here first dibs and then sell the rest on ebay with a small mark up to cover 'administration costs'.

Give me a shout if you want a set.

Cheers

Thank you so much for reserving one for me (and thanks for the PM)

Much as I think they would look good on my car - I'm afraid I've been 'put-off' by the fitting video which was posted... Don't trust myself to successfully complete that process I'm afraid... :oops:

Lol! Woosie!

No worries.
 
No sign of them yet? Would be a nice job for the xmas holiday :grin:
 
Royal Mail have kindly held them for the past 2 weeks whilst they sent me a letter to say I need to pay duty. Letter came today.

I'll pick them up on Monday and post them straight over to you guys. I'll drop you a pm tonight to get your details.

If anyone else wants a set for the holidays, can you drop me a note this weekend as I'll be in Dubai from the 22nd for a week.
 
Ok. One set left at 911uk pricing. Otherwise they're all going on eBay at a marked up price.
