My recently purchased 997 turbo is undergoing a GT3R widebody conversion so thought it might be good to show the project here.

Here's the carbon/ Kevlar widebody kit which I bought before even owning the car.

That's quite the project. What are you gong to do about the lack of air intakes in that body kit? Are you sure it fits the widebody of the Turbo?
 
Hell...Thats going to keep you quiet during the cold winter nights!
Interested to see how it takes shape.
 
:popcorn:

Good luck with this project, sounds very interesting.
 
Interesting :) Are you going to fit the GTR CL wheels too?
 
WOW! This is going to be an interesting thread to follow. You've certainly got your work cut out there.

Good luck!
 
Been looking forward to this one...

Judging by your Supra, it will be awesome I am sure :worship:

I have cut out the panels to accept the air vents.

Not going Center Lock, I have some aftermarket 3 piece forged wheels on order in 10x19 and 14x19
 
I've a feeling that this is going to be one of the most refreshed/watched build threads in 911UK.com history.

I absolutely love build threads. :thumb:
 
Good luck

Looking forward to seeing the outcome of this.
Will you be changing colour to red afterwards or will she be staying black?
 
Not all heroes wear a cape. This is quite brave! Good luck. Can't wait to see it!

What tyres are you going to use on those? Surely the rolling radius of anything that fits on a 14x19 is going to be a bit different to the stock 305/30 (and those rims will be too wide for RS sizes)? Or has the size/calibration problem already been sorted out?
