Yes that includes the car :-)
Have you made any other changes to the suspension, or is otherwise stock? Should I find myself with some increased earning power, EXE-TC shocks are high on the list, albeit maybe the cheaper 1-way versions.Edited by IknowJoseph on Thursday 10th November 16:01
1-ways probably all that I need too, but these were second-hand 3-ways (rebuilt to new standard very reasonably).
Highly recommended and made possible by the relatively low cost of the car.

Great write. Most enjoyable. I agree the aerokit completely ruins the silhouette on the mk 2 996 and I'd be tempted to return the car to standard. Funnily enough I like the mk1 aerokit. Go figure?
That's actually the mk1 and mk2 Aerokit Carrera (It can be fitted to both)The Aerokit that is specific to the mk1 is the Aerokit Cup (sometimes known as the GT3 kit).
And just to confuse maters further, there is also an Aerokit Cup for the mk2 Carrera that mimics the 996.2 GT2 (with the ironing board wing), but I've only ever seen it on two mk2 Carrera's.

At risk of going to nerd level 2,
The 996.1s Aerokit Cup isn't an exact copy of the GT3 kit either (It's just some refer to it as such).
For example, the central aperture of the front PU of a 996.1 GT3 is open, whereas on the Aerokit that mimics it, it's filled in.

Perfect, thanks. I'm always impressed by the quality of the stock suspension - I recently had a front arb droplink replaced and the car feels new now - but fancy bits always appeal. I'll send you a message if I'm ever feeling flush in the future to compare notes.1-ways probably all that I need too, but these were second-hand 3-ways (rebuilt to new standard very reasonably).

I am not sure what you mean by mounting points. The spoiler you have includes the grill section underneath it. The grill with the wing attach to the metal engine cover in place of the normal moveable spoiler.
Looking at pictures of the plank type spoiler it does not seem to attach to the engine cover in the same way so it doesn’t seem to come with the required different engine cover insert, it looks like it needs a new engine cover.
Actually found it here which seems to confirm: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/99651290102G...

As above, you'll need a new engine cover with the built in uprights for the "plank" - this should fit a mk2 GT3 and also a GT3 RS plank in case you were tempted to serious blow some cash!Looking at pictures of the plank type spoiler it does not seem to attach to the engine cover in the same way so it doesn’t seem to come with the required different engine cover insert, it looks like it needs a new engine cover.
