Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suggestion
It is very easy to do, but if you want to do a 'proper' job then you also change the front uprights to the C2 ones to get the better suspension geometry.
Leading evidence: 'Replace front uprights' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace front uprights' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hey everyone - new here.
I'm on the lookout for a 996.1 aero packed C2. I'm currently looking in a few places but would really appreciate suggestions of where to keep an eye out/who to get in touch with to ensure I don't miss one.
I'm open to one with higher mileages, as I do very little (and don't mind getting the spanners out).
Thanks a lot!
P.S. I'd love to look around some (even if not for sale) - in the Essex/Chelmsford area.
carandclassic.co.uk - there was a lovely white one on there recently.
You can filter with the keyword 'aero" (/GT3etc)
Also Trovit for picking up ads all over the place including expired (but car may still be available).
And it's a C4.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, I have a C4. Beauty of a C4 is you can turn it into a C2 and back very easily. Not so easy to turn a C2 into a C4.
It is very easy to do, but if you want to do a 'proper' job then you also change the front uprights to the C2 ones to get the better suspension geometry. Alternatively you can just modify the driveshafts to make them in to stub axles.
Remove propshaft, remove front diff, remove driveshafts. Modify driveshafts, refit them.
I haven't yet found a bigger fuel tank which will fit the C4, which is a ***** as the tank is not exactly huge.

Keep your eyes peeled on here, I looked for months for my 996 and then found 'the one' on here.
Have a really good look at the sills of the cars equipped with the Aero kit - of the ones I looked at the Aero cars were rusting quite badly
