Yep I like them. But at £75 without the lights there not cheap. Also from Germany so add VAT duty & Postage. If your reflectors are coroded it's very tempting though. Would look good with my spoiler! That cars an interesting colour. :)

The german price will probably include VAT, all EU countries charge VAT at source so you'll be paying it in Germany. P & P will be extra, but £75 ain't bad!

Edited to say this is at the bottom of the ad!

19% VAT is presently included in the listed price.
If you have questions about this VAT, please contact the seller. The actual VAT requirements and rates may vary depending on the final sale.

Some where on the net are instructions on how to make a set of GTS lamps.

JJ is that guy you way still braking 924s or has he realised now that there's no money in it?

The bloke says that they fit all 924 & 944s. I can't see how they can, as the shape of the turbo/S2 headlamp lids are different to the 924 and impact type bumper 944s.

I did have the link for making your own once, but I seem to have lost it. (I think it may have been on the Titanic site?) :?

Quite liked the rear glass replacement, if you lived somewhere hot it could be a godsend, not sure about visibility though

Paul; that looks horrid

It looks more like a Pill Box and there should be a gun pointing out the rear window

I don't mind the look of it too much, but you must loose half of your boot space by fitting one of them. I also think that the standard glass hatch look better.

As for the stuff on their site, most of it is horrid. I think some of the 924 stuff is quite nice, but I won't be ordering any bits from them for my 944. The GTS light kit is just about the best thing they do.

I was thinking more on the lines of say Spain where the 924/44/68 got slated because of having too much rear glass area and turning into ovens and cars getting written off because that huge rear glass costs so much, new one over £2k?
But on the looks I disagree with you Dave, it gives a Lambo/Fezza/Europa sports car look which I like, then again I like Cayennes :shock: so I Should have gone to ........................ :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Only thing I like is the lights! Must say I would have gone for them before the spoiler. But don't want ripping off again! Just rung up the body shop & my car is finished :D He actualy tried to fit the new spoiler. (He could have laminated to strengthen it.) Guess what. It didn't fit the wings. Not by miles. Would have cost a bomb to make it fit. Going to ring Clubautosport tommorrow & see what they say. Pretty nasty. I wasn't going to bother sending it back & just sell it on. But who wants it if it doesn't fit! Be very careful buying fibreglass! Lots of rubbish out there :evil:
Siggy. Don't know anyone around here brakeing 924's.

Hi all

I have been looking for a decent set of GTS headlight units in the past few years and have seen barely all kits available on the market fitted to Transaxle Porsches and none of them fitted precisely (btw, not even the OEM Carrera GTS units do) nor did it have some nice covers that exactly replicate the shape of the OEM metal headlight lid covers.

That's why we decided two months ago to design our own high quality GTS headlight kit. The covers have been completely finished this weekend and look as follows:

As you can see it is quite a complex shape, even the back of it is slightly curved.

We will finish the kit in the next few weeks, it will be optionally available with Carbon Fibre Housings and will be a complete bolt-in upgrade including all bits and pieces...

Cheers

Beni
