Hi JPR

Yes we completed the front fenders conversion kit of which we have already produced approx 30 kits fitted to customer’s cars worldwide.

I will post some pics and ensure that the product is added to our website tomorrow where all details will be available.

We have also recently completed various other new 968 product some of which were photographed after full testing last weekend so I'll post pics of these again shortly.

Best regards,
Mark

A couple of pics I have on file from a customers car in Norway:

Cheers,
Mark

I like the looks of those fenders, but why does it look like the right fender doesn't fit correctly on both cars? Right where the hood and fender meet the bumper there's a large gap.

mbardeen - I can assure that alignment is 100% true ... I promise to post some further detailed pics tomorrow.

Fingers crossed I will purchase this Euro 968 CS Riviera Blue this weekend in Sweden from a customer of ours already fitted with our TRS V2 rear wing plus many other nice products ... I will update accordingly if a deal can be arranged on this stunning car.

The for sale add can be viewed here: http://www.blocket.se/stockholm/Pors....htm?ca=12&w=3

Airbrake? Please? Any progress whatsoever on the airbrake? Or has it been officially abandoned?

Still in development stages at the moment but it will come soon we promise :-) The main issue at the moment is fixing to the body as well as the frame hatch otherwise if simply mounted to the hatch frame it would rip right off

We are looking at using 2 additional closure pins to the side of the hatch frame same as OEM pair of closure pins at the rear which should do the trick.

and have you considered the entanglements

that go along after you deploy an emergency parachute on the roadway?

wouldn't mind seeing a little more speed out of this thing, first.

I was willing to accept your word and that it was just a trick of the light or something else. However, I'm not willing to be made to look like I'm talking out my ***.

So... at the risk of calling down the Rennlist gods.

Looking at the pictures now shows the gaps looking right. I first thought I was crazy, so I checked the modification times on the images. They were modified at 1am on the 13rd of September -- after your original post and after my message. Close inspection of the first image shows the gap between the bumper and the right fender increasing and then decreasing. I'm sure that will disappear soon too, so I saved a copy of the image -- just so I know I'm not crazy.


Whichever way you want to explain the modification times, you can be assured you won't be getting my business.
