968 Cup chin spoiler? Was there a 968 Cup car? Has anyone seen this before?

Thom

It looks very similar to the factory 968 TS front splitter.

There was a "Copa Porsche 968 CS" in Spain, years '93 and '94. In Germany too, with the factory involved. At least this is what I read on a German forum.

I believe Gert has the original molds

You can still get them from Porsche Motorsport, so would they be buying them from Gert??

They look the same as the factory turbo S spoilers.

I just wish my cab wasn't quite so low, it would look great on my car. I had the Fitztgerald fiberglass copy on my coupe for about a week before I sold the car and it looked terrific.

Damian, if you ever decide to go for it, I have one with your name on it. For that reason, I like the CS spring setup. Its lower, but not too low and the ride is exact same as factory. I might have clearance issues as well when I install mine. I will let you guys know.

At least the factory front splitter is made of soft PU, meaning it won't simply self-destruct whenever it hits a speed bump contrary to most hard plastic aftermarket units available.
I gave the one I had on my 951 to a friend who owns a 968 and who had destroyed his 968 TRS reproduction splitter at the first speed bump it came into contact with.

Thom, the fiberglass ones are paper thin and have no flex what so ever. I think you would go through a good 3-4 of those before you go through a PU one.

I can't really see a chin spoiler in those pictures. Is it black or in shadow?

Thanks, Raj.

I have the fibergalss splitter. I have repaired 4 times (which I anticapated before I installed it). Looks great but probabley not great for a DD. Next time mine breaks I am tossing it in the trash.

Here is a good closeup of the splitter from Carnewal. It has a Porsche part number - 968 505 071 00, but it is not listed in the PET or any other parts resource that I have seen. .

Beautiful car!

Dont know if you remember me, but the drain plug and DIN gauge panel are still going strong...
