Hello All,
I am getting a spoiler sprayed and fited shortly on my lovely black 996 cab c2. Does anyone know how to go about disconnecting the rear wing. I assume that if you simply unplugg this you will get a warning light when you hit 75mph (when the rear wing should be 'showing off' like a peacock)that would annoy the hell out of me if the lights stays perm on.
Thanks in advance,
Oh and dont eat any irish porka at the moment it will make you sick!

Ski, Ski..... Ski!!!
I thought we taught you better than that! Get pics from the Newbies before you give them any help! Now you just lost your leverage! There is a 68.4% chance we won't hear from him again. He could be a One-Hit-Wonder.
J/K!
Seriously, nice of you to help him!
hahaha okay okay.
Ski you were really helpful thanks. Those instructions were for the exact spoiler i am fitting. Looks great on your Porka too! Can wait to get it fitted.
I have attached piccys as the lovely car currently stands. I took the hard top back off as really not sur on the look. It has divided my friends as some prefer it and others dont.
Thanks again for your help guys.
And gota911 the chances are actually 68.8%
Cheers,

Hello
You're welcome
You did a fantastic job posting pics...
if not.... Tim's sword would be very dangerous for you
Nice car, and nice wife/girlfriend too
England? Ireland? Where?
England - Bristol/London
thats the girlfriend though she would like to be the wife. Unfortunately the car comes first LOL. Got loads of pics at home but only a few at work. will def take loads when the spoiler is on so will post them up. thinking of some understated side skirts too........always thinking of what next!!!! hahhaha
You know when your 996 adventure begins, but not when It would be finished...
In a 996 we can hundreds of mods to do (OEM parts, aftermarket parts, home made parts)
There is a universe to personalize
Great pics! Thanks for sharing!
OEM skirts would look great on your car.
BTW - what are you doing to the front bumper to counter balance the effect of the rear spoiler/wing you are adding? Porsche
strongly recommends
that you not add a wing without also adding a front splitter to redice front lift.
Tim is absolutely correct - Porsche has developed a paired front lip spoiler to reduce front end lift that will be created by the fixed wing's increased downforce. They are cheap compared to the cost of the wing and you won't have any issues at high speed. Just do it!
Here's what it looks like on the car:
Hi guys wing has been fitted and looks great I will take some pics tomorrow and post. I do not have a front spoiler so def need to get one then. Idid not notice anything drastic on the way back from the paint shop but do not want to take any risks!! Any idea on best place in UK to get them from? On my iPhone now so will have a proper look tomorrow. Also. He connected the light to the secondary light in the Old rear wing so the new wing brake light only works when wing is up either manually or or over 70 I need to' jam' the switch in the footwell in the perm up position any ideas? I don't literally mean jam physically! Hard writing and searching forums on iPhone ! Cheers
