Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

what does the aero kit consist of on a facelift 996? im looking at one and im not sure if its an aero kit on it.

POST 2Original post

Side skirts and a low mounted rear wing (not as large or as nice as a GT3 wing) Not sure if the front PU or splitter is different also http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/701427.htm Wing as this ad (its not a GT3 wing despite what the ad says)

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i think the one i looked at had the aero kit, it had a lot of options including, sports exhaust, sat nav, sports seats with crests on them, heated seats, bose, cd changer, 18" upgraded carrera alloys with coloured centres, park assist, traction control, xenons. are there any other important options i should be looking for?

POST 5Original post

The aero kit has the smaller Carrera rear wing, side skirts and must have the front PU with the lower splitter on the Facelift cars. Pre facelift [before 07/01] cars could be fitted with the rear spoiler without changing the front PU. TB

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

yes same kit as that, what do you mean by the front PU? im going to pick the car up tomorrow afternoon so hopefully will all be ok, its getting serviced and mot'd today, its a convertible, is there much involved in removing the hardtop? as i will be checking the roof condition prior to paying for the car.

POST 8Original post

PU = P oly U rethane (the bumper). There should be a little rubber lip underneath maybe 6 inches back from the bottom, in the centre about 2 feet wide and maybe an inch high.

POST 9Original post

Hard top removal is very straight forward. Unclip at the front by the rear view mirror. then on the rear shelf you'll see two bolts. Use Big allon key (supplied) to turn each 90 degrees . then lift the hood up & back. - you will need two people for this. et voila....

POST 10Original post

I think that kit looks F A B. I might get one for mine as its the same colour 8) Anyone got any prices inc fitting?

POST 11Original post

I make it around £850 + paint + fitting + VAT. http://www.porscheshop.co.uk/acatalog/porsche_996_body_styling_aero_kit.html

POST 12Original post

AND some carrera spoiler.....£550.00 side skirts...........£380.00 Front PU..............£830.00 +paint,fitting & vat from porscheshop a hell of a lot more if you use genuine Porsche parts, spoiler alone £1550.00 +cable £70.00 +paint fit & vat!!! TB

POST 13Original post

I very much doubt a new PU is actually required. The little lip underneath can't cost very much, even from Porsche.

POST 14Original post

On the facelift front PU the cup splitter fits and works well, you just have to slightly modify the ends but it's easy. Works well on a black or dark car as it actually looks like part of the PU... Much cheaper than new PU...

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

picked my car up on wed, it has the same kit as that one in the pic, i will have to get some photos of the car put on here, looks really nice with the kit. i got it on wed but had to go in to get new alternator and battery from poesche on friday so not had a chance to clean it properly and get photos yet.
