Gorgeous.

I saw a pic the other day where someone has fitted an 997.1 RS engine lid and wing one of these. Looked perfect.

La, la, la, la, la, not listening!!!

Only thing is the Gen 2 is set up to feed the twin air intake/filters of the later car, but it can be resolved.

That’s it perfect. I was just trying to rack my brain to get it correct.

997.2 GT3 deck lid that allows you to put the .1 wing on it.
The 997.2 deck lid and the 997.1 RS are the same part but apparently the 997.2 lid is cheaper to buy?

You need this in your life M.

DSC fitted. Possibly damper next...

The 997.1 GT3 and GT3 RS decklids both feed a single air filter housing:


The 997.2 GT3 RS lid is slightly different as it feeds this:


I'm fairly sure the Gen 2 decklid can be doctored to feed into the one intake though.

I’ve already been looking! RS wing and gold BBS E88s…

Ok yep…

What does the 997.2 GT3 (non RS) lid feed, just a single?
Pretty sure this is what was in the pic i saw the other day… meaning no change to intake system. The person then just added the .1 RS wing.

I love a big wing as much as the next man, but more is not more in this instance!!

[shantybeater]

Damn…I think I need this wing setup in my life..

Non-CS 7.1 for sale 36k for £91k. It’s got a wrap on it though… not sure I’d be comfortable spending that sort of money without seeing the cars actual paintwork underneath

Saw that. As with the 7.1 RS at Octane with wrap, the colour really suits it, but as you say, you wonder what's underneath.

Also, personally, I'd have black wheels rather than silver with that colour.

That does look fab in the green spray wrap.

Limited edition model 997’s like the GT3’s are so short on supply, everyone seems to be hanging on to them these days, for a good reason!

Last of the 911’s with an old school feel to them.

It seems you can almost name your price with these at the moment.

Had mine for just over 9 years now , 2 owners from new. 41,000 miles. Its had Porsche warrenty all its life but expired in November last year, unable to renew as the first owner stored the car for 6 months.It is a June 2007 car.
Waiting for visa for moving to spain

Was thinking of selling eary this year , but i may just store it for when i pop back now and then.

If i did put it up i have no idea of current values, they are up and down.

Hello there,
That was me along with my mate Andy on a little breakfast run to the Deli. The actual colour under all that winter filth is actually 22R Mint Green.

Jason.
