I am looking to buy a gt2 rear wing and a front bumper to replace the ones I have on my 996tt. The rear spoiler has given up the ghost. Firstly does anyone have any recommendations as to what I should buy, avoid and secondly does anyone have any or know of any of these parts for sale.

Not the answer you may be looking for, but there is a DIY fix for the rams. Google it, it's on some Porsche forum somewhere. It's not that straightforward perhaps but should cost a lot less than either new replacements or any GT2 upgrades.

I also remember reading that if there is a slow leak then topping up the system could fix it for quite a long time, and there is info out there about doing this.

OEM GT2 rear deck lid and wing is about 8K I think. I got an OEM one 2nd hand for a lot less than that though but it took some finding.

GT2 OEM front bumber is about 4.5K. 2nd hand ones are like rocking horse st. I've been looking for a while not found one.

Place in Poland seems to have a few for sale and will offer cash for your stuff in return. Check E-bay for them. Mixed reviews though.

Precision Porsche seem to fair well on the forums for non OEM stuff.

Forget to mention, that you need all the brackets for the rads on the front as they are mounted upside down or something. OEM parts for this come to about 700/800 quid.

Regardless of what people say, mine has the GT2 wing but not the GT2 front and I haven't under steered off into the scenery yet. Front does get a bit light over 130MPH but plod taske a dim view of this kind of shenanigans so you have to think how often you do this kind of thing.

Thanks for the comments so far. Am temped to get a rear gt2 wing from Misha in the USA. Product looks good and a reasonable price. I have sorted the rams on the original 996 tt wing before but now the motor has gone, just getting fed up with it. Has anyone brought one of these wings?

I put a Misha GT2M rear wing on my C4S, although I bought it from a guy in UK (off 911uk.com) rather than import it in the end.

I also put a turbo front lip on for extra downforce for what it was worth and have been high speed on autobahn with no stability issues at all.

4-5 times during a lap of the Ring... biggrin

Then there's the Autobahn on the way there/back! wink

Doesn't look right, though.
