Good one from USA. Not sure what qualitys like & its expensive. £500. You need to see them before buying as some kits fit were they touch & others are very thin & need strengthening. Good fiberglass is not cheap! Which is why I stuck with what I've got.

Think they're cheap for a reason ie. need a lot of fiddling to fit and other parts required to finish the job. Also the original spoiler is a right pain to get off, I gave up anyway. My 968 spoiler with tailgate was £150 quid all in and fitted, they come now and again or the more expensive will at least have the correct fittings.

Well I just had a little accident, with a people carrier. Stopping very suddenly on a roundabout straight after it pulled out. Result was this, been the driver behind I guess I’m 2 blame all do amazingly hardly any damage occurred 2 the vehicle in front. I explained I was goner change the front end anyway 2 woman driver and she just phoned back saying they’re willing 2 just leave the insurance out of it if I don’t mind.






Well I got my OEM spoiler off ok. Here are some pics of the eBay bridge spoiler, fitted. u can see the twisted, now 2 get the line 2 marry up and flow thought required filling down and re shaping with filler, I found chemical metal 2 b better then body filler as u could build the layer up heavier, filler wouldn’t really blend once sanded back down. It would almost come off in layers. Also the finishing strip as it’s called. Didn’t meet at the same point each side so this had 2 be bend in with filler
as well and lots off it.

here u can see the differnce between na wings and turbo shaped marked by the line



i left the some extra 2 roll or grand at angle 2 replecate the rolled lip as factory finsh.





here u can see the new badge pannel fitted which is slightly higher and longer aswell as more curved at the front. the turbo is longer at the center most point only by 30 mm or so but it makes a big diffence, left light is n/a and the right is a turbo lid and front shroud.


here u can see the differnce in the lids shape




the wiring was spilced and the coloured cables macthed back up and joined as the plugs were differnt concentons with the fogs and side on the same uint
