....does anyone else think this would look the dogs danglies or is it just me?! My friend has a 996.1 with factory fitted GT3 style bumpers, sideskirts, wing etc, looks great to my eye, but I can't help thinking that it would look even better if it didn't have the rear wing as:

1) it would look to my eye quite understated yet aggressive, less shouty than with the wing
2) would def show that the owner is not trying to pass it off as a GT3 (which he doesn't, but some people might think he's trying)

What do you think? Can anyone photoshop up what it would look like? I'm crap at that sort of thing

Looks better with the full kit or none of it to me. All or nothing I guess.

Personally I think the Mk1 spoiler is so nicely executed, it doesn't make the car too shouty or OTT. But each to their own smile

That's what I was going to say but I have to admit Slippy's photos look bloody good.
