electronic adjustable exhaust valves

That looks spot on enjoy your car
What carbon bits did you go for in the end
Front bumper spears
NACA ducts
Front Fender Vents
Side Air Intakes

I am also considering:
1) Having the front lip and side skirts painted
2) Having the wheels refinished. I requested GT2 RS White Gold for the wheels but it came with what’s i think is Satin Platinum.
That will look wicked on your car
Did you go to DB Carbon in the end
For your bits ?
I’ve been told front fender vents are
Glued in and it’s a tough job to remove them
Be interesting to hear how you get on swapping these over if they are 1 piece item
There are some vents covers you can glue on the existing louvres from tech art not
Sure how good the finish on these would
Look
Anyone fitted these ?
Yes, I ordered from DB Carbon.

The difficult item to install i believe is the front bumper spears as hey require removing the bumper.

I' m going to fit some carbon bits to my RS when it comes..I especially dislike the rear plastic air inlets which look cheap on a WP RS..These simply pop off and are very easy to replace..The front fender vents are very difficult to remove and if the whole parts are replace will necessitate removing the front wings..However DB Carbon offer an alternative which is just replacing the vent slats only, leaving the bonded frames in place..These can be replaced without fender removal or so i've been told.
Yes I'm looking to replace my rear vents which just pull out with a bit of effort, as I agree the standard ones look naff and spoil the car!
I personally feel the NACA ducts look the worst. Plastic amongst all the cf looks so cheap.

I am getting all parts fitted for £800.

I want to have my wag wheels refinished too but would likely want them in either 2RS white gold or black centres with either a polished lip or leaving the lip in the existing colour

What piece of sheer beauty - this colour combo is a real killer
I agree that looks stunning. Not normally a big fan of greens. But that looks so good with the gold wheels. I did not notice that colour on the PTS list. To be honest my Fav 911 Colour is Signal Yellow. So took the opportunity to go with this full WP and gold wheels. Should be here early next month.

Nice, I almost went the same way to match my SY GT4, but I really have enough yellow cars at the moment so chickened out in the end.
I think it'll look awesome though esp with the WP, look forward to hopefully seeing a picture of it.

My 2RS didn’t have the CF one either. It’s just not on paying money like this and having to weight 14 months for what you paid for.

My wheels also came in a colour I didn’t order (I ordered 2RS white gold) and they came in platinum.

Sounds like you need to get hold of the DP and Arm Bar him or Choke Him Out, that should fix it biggrin

I wanted Weiss gold painted Mg wheels too, but was told that colour option wasn’t available so chose silver instead. Looks fantastic, and I’m actually glad now that Weiss gold wasn’t available....

I thought long and hard on all wheel colour choices on my RS's Mag rims..I liked all of them for different reasons although i discounted the Aurum against the yellow calipers..In the end i just went with the standard Platinum wheels which i'm happy with based on some pics i've seen.
On another note all three RSs at my OPC are Black WP with Plat rims including mine..Who saw that coming..?...not me..!
