Yes, it has arrived and it's fitted although as yet I haven't torqued the main 17mm bolts. I have two torque wrenches, one with a half inch drive and the other with a quarter inch. The 17mm socket is 3/8 inch!!! I have an adapter for the half inch torque wrench down to the 3/8 inch socket but that wrench only goes to 50Nm. The smaller torque wrench would work but it won't fit.....blah!
Might just tighten it firmly and assume all will be well

The main bolts need to be snug, not super torqued so you can't turn them anymore, so tight and half a turn will see you good until you get the right adapter.Might just tighten it firmly and assume all will be well

If you have a chance can you take a photo of the fork attachment threads/holes as I'm interested in how DB carbon manufacture their piece compared to the OEM, if there is any difference.Might just tighten it firmly and assume all will be well

It's identical to OEM as DB Carbon use an OEM wing as the basis of their product. Here you go. Excuse phone pics.

They're Yokohama AO48's. I have a new set of PS2's ready to pop on if I decide to run it through the winter.
I ran 48's on mine. Loads of grip when warm but noisy and shocking in the wet with 580bhp. All round the Michelin is the better tyre, oh and the A048's lasted 1,000 miles, road work only.

Looked good at Brands today.
Think that could of been me :-) as only saw two other silver GT2's but they didn't have the carbon spoiler. Saw the red mk2 in the detailing stall. Thx for the comment, had some good conversations with owners old and new today. M33ufo where you there to?
