I bought this week an original 997.2 Gt3 (2009).

I live in the Netherlands where there is not much to get on the used parts market.
There are some nice things on the German Ebay, but because there is not much supply, I would also like to search the English used Porsche parts market.

At what internet addresses can I find Gt3 (997.2) parts used in the UK?


I'm looking for a pair of OZ rims, a nice sports exhaust, a Gt3 Rs steering wheel, an autoblip system for rev matching.

Thanks!

What a lovely car ! Afraid I can’t help on the parts I would have thought Germany would have been the country to go to as GT3’s seem to get properly used over there. They’re quite rare cars here.

The US Rennlist site

https://rennlist.com/forums/market/parts

is an altogether busier place than most. Possibly/probably not cost effective by the time you’ve paid shipping/duties though, but as the Yanks are happy to modify their cars, you’ve more chance of finding what you want secondhand.

911UK occasionally throws up 997.2 GT3 bits, things tend to be pretty sloooow over there though :

Also eBay can occasionally unearth some goodies, especially if you search European sellers.

Haven’t used him for a long time now but what about Gert at Carnewal just over the border in Belgium for you?

My car came with an after market exhaust which I have changed back to standard, I will post some photos of it tonight and see if anyone can identify what brand it is and I might sell it if it fits your need.

Cheers

Hi. Your new car looks fantastic! Great choice.

Regarding the steering wheel. Not sure exactly what you want, but it might be worth trying these guys...

http://royalsteeringwheels.com

They did a re-trim on my wheel and the result was truly indistinguishable from OEM. They'll do whatever you want in terms of materials/stitching colours, 12-O-clock markers etc...

I have no affiliation other than being a happy customer.

Good luck, and enjoy your car.
