I live in the UK and am looking to purchase a front splitter.

Does anyone know where I can buy one from in England - I want one NOW!!!

Does any company import the GT- Racing products as I want there adjustable carbon rear wing?

Did you try these guys?

Very good customer service by the way, but not so sure on the rear adjustable spoiler.

Porscheshop have good customer service - you're joking hosrom, right? Not only is their customer service abysmal but they have a habit of selling stuff you can get from the OPC for a 20% markup. Avoid.

I got my splitter and carbon wing from Essential Styling. As I said in the torsion bar post join up to the PCGB forum and you'll get lots of help with sourcing parts in the UK.

Thanks guys... The one sold by porschshop looks best and at £195.00 its cheaper than the alternative option from essentialstyling even though they do a carbon fibre option, but it does not look as good or as solid.

I have the Essential Styling splitter in my conservatory right now - you could not get a better piece for that application. If you call Simon he had some non-carbon ones he was able to do a deal on when I last spoke to him, and you get to speak to the guy who runs the business. As I said above I cannot stress strongly enough how much all the UK 944 people I know dislike Porscheshop.

REN - do you have a picture of your rear wing and front splitter?

Is it easy to fit the rear wing and do you need a frame surround to replace the rubber standard item?

It was £50 and it was a fibreglass lip from eBay. The ones you're talking about are full replacement undertrays - do you want it for show or stability?

The Essential piece is a carbon centre with fibreglass ends. It comes with the side and bottom trims to fit to a rubber spoiler car but as mine had a bridge spoiler I will not be using them. My car looks similar to yours in your avatar just now except worse (front PU, rad, engine, rear axle etc. all out). The spoiler is on with Duck tape just to see how it fits and I have a pic or two from my phone but I haven't uploaded them anywhere yet.

OK - Ive just purchased a set of Bilstein Escort cups with 350 front and 500 rear springs. I'm looking for some adjustable camber top mounts, where can I get these from and what are the best ones. Ideally I want to purchase from the UK as I hate waiting for things!!!! I purchased my suspension from the US and it tolk ages to get here 8 weeks! but it was cheap until I got the bill from customs at the collection depot.

Pictures will be great. I've just fitted 968 mirrors and door handles which look really cool next is going to be a complete interior strip before a cage goes in in the next coulpe of week.

I HATE WAITING - NEED IT ALL DONE NOW

Fen: Yes, their customer service is good, Heck, they helped me out with tranmission internal parts for my 88 NA a few years back, their prices were cheaper, maybe now it is different. That is why i recommended them.
