The spoiler wall as already mentioned is not bonded. It simply clicks in at the top and the bottom. It took me minutes to change mine. Just to be sure, here's what a replaced wall looks like:



The bottom snaps onto a round bar and easily unsnaps. The top slides onto a flat bar and will probably need 'helping' with a flat screw driver to slide it off. As for reasonably priced, I thought 52 quid was a bit cheeky for a piece of corrugated plastic!

If you mean the grill itself, that's just one piece.

p.s. I like the idea of the exhaust outlet on the roof

PET shows the spoiler surround and grill as one part number which makes me guess that the two are not meant to be separated.

You'll have to mask up the black grill part then wet sand the existing paint off.
Put two layers of masking tape on the grill at the edge so it's more "resistant" to an accidental sanding.....

I must thank the Strasse boys Charlie, big Dave, the legendary older Dave and especially Chris Dyer (who claimed the 2010 Porsche Club Championship Crown) for their free advise and help running through the hard bits.

Already, they have done a bareshell RS replica from shell up and running nice.

I hope black will look good, and as for a ride in amazon soon. I hope so, will get the ball rolling fast with the bodywork

The 964 PORSCHE CUP races ive been watchingrace by race, makes me really want Maritime blue! Green was'nt popular and was not much of a leading car most races hmmmmmmmmmmm

All the legs, suspension has all been taken off, stripped and ready to go get blasted.
