"New" front end - quite pleased

I track my car regularly - say 10-12 track days a year, with at least 2 trips a year to Nurburgring and Spa, but also I do have a bit of a modding bug, so anything that I do has to be subtle and OEM - and not interfere with my primary reason for buying the car...to drive it

So here's my interpretation of a 986 front end - If Porsche ever made a 'RS' then I think it may have looked a little like this:






There's actually a lot of work gone into that:

-De-Ambered facelift lights (+5000K HID upgrade and white LED parking lights)
-Porsche 928 black/Silver badge
-Home made mesh grills for black (non-S) side vents
-Retro fit centre grill
-Ring Automotive DRL Leds (Hella bright!!) - come on with engine and side lights, dim on main beam
(took the opportunity to fit a really loud air horn whilst the fender was off too)
- Lower splitter (£70 off ebay)

I think it works really well. Tomorrow I've got an extended air intake scoop to fit and carbon mirror covers.


I've increased the exposure on this shot so you can see the shape of the splitter:



Not bad for an old girl - she's a MY02 with almost 120K miles on the clock!
