Can one of you darling s/t owners be so kind and check to see where your front diffuser is set too regarding its position?

I’m guessing it’s unchanged, but I’m curious to know if the addition of the gurney flap changed anything in the front of the vehicle.

TIA

I'm going to be honest that I never went under my GT3 so I really didn't know what to look for. I went under the S/T and there's nothing obvious. The whole thing is just covered. It's flat plastic although there is a small piece of plastic sticking down near the tires. I also looked up the race manual for the 992 GT3 which said NOT to adjust the front diffuser on the Touring. It seems that the front diffuser should only be adjusted along with the rear wing and since the Touring doesn't have a wing, it should remain in the set position. That would seem to apply to the S/T. I also looked under my Speedster and there also was nothing obvious. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

Thank you. I took a terrible picture. It’s right in front of the wheels. Touring is set to 0 per the manual, but yours looks like it’s a bit higher. Unless it’s the angle of the photo.

Your analysis sounds right to me - factory setting for front aero for all the retractable wing models should be left alone. To see the aero plates, you need to look inside the front wheel wells in front of the front wheels (may be easier to see if you crank the steering wheel fully to one side).

OK I got a picture. It seems to be one notch further up than on the Touring.

Also, the ST sits slightly higher than the touring too. I haven’t even asked, but now I wonder if the ST gets the RS rear air channel guides…
