Looking good actually! Glad we decided on that colour :mrgreen:

You could have at least cleaned the car before taking pics of it though :lol:

Yeah I kind of got a bit impatient and wanted to share my happiness at actually fitting something and It doesn't look like a bodge job. Even the fuel smell in the cabin has gone :D Promise I'll clean her at weekend.
I've even done a chemical treatment clean on the engine :shock: I'm starting to get adventrous in this home mechanics thing :lol:

Looks sweet Andy. Good job! Hard to keep the car clean this weather. Totaly different to mine. Think that half of mine is missing. Cant see what the spoiler fastens to as mine screws through the frame!

The bridge has 3 rivots through the frame each side holding it on solid. The trim is just fibreglass and stuck on with Tiger seal or similar, theres no fixings for these like my rubber one had :?

I think the shape compliments the lower valance aswell, the curve on that and the wheels really go together. Doesn't look like its come off the cover of Max Power.

The kit can be bought brand new from Design 911 but it's pricey :shock: http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/pt715_718 ... -Aerofoil/
There's a fixed version or adjustable like this one. Or you can just keep your eyes peeled on Ebay like I did. Strasse in leeds where this came from did say they may have another available so might be worth a call :|

Saw this company when I was looking and it's cheap but I personally didn't want the risk of buying it unseen and you need to purchase additional bits to complete the look + I already had problems with my hatch and this one I have now fits perfect so I'm happy. Might suit someone else whose more handy with a drill and body alignment though.

Strangely enough when the paint was stripped back for the respray the spoiler was red at one time so theres a bit of red in there. 'Blue Rocket' is red at heart but Mrs Andy's favourite colour is Blue so she couldn't say no when I bought her :mrgreen:

Jealous am I :twisted:

We do not have any cars here with the adjustable or even "968" style wing in our junk yards (breakers).

I may need to make a trip to pick up about 10 of these!

HI CPR. You can buy new kits from here http://www.design911.co.uk/fu/pt715_718_-cma81-cmo123-ct309/Porsche/Porsche-944-1982-91/Porsche-944-Turbo-25L-8V-1989-91/Spoilers---Aero-Kits/Rear-Spoilers---Aerofoil/

Beware they are pricey and with the exchange rate to your side of the pond who knows what price :roll: :shock: but it looks excellent. Everyone who see's it at a show comments on it, then the wheels :mrgreen:

Andy
