This implies wider tires can go on a GT2 than an RSR?

Correct?
993RSR used 8.5 & 10 to 9.5 & 11x18, GT2EVO used 10 &11 X18 to 10 & 12.5 x18

Agreed!

So are the front and rear bumpers on the RSR normal NB bumpers? Are they just stretched outward to match the the lines of the flared fenders? Are there different wheel well liners for these flared fenders?

Bolted on fender flares on a 993 are simply put, HOT!

Good afternoon guys, as I just ordered a new bumper and set of front splitters for my car, I can tell you that the part number for the bumper is the same as the one for a regular NB 993 Carrera 2

Part number for the 3 piece front splitter is the same as the ones installed on the 993 RS Clubsport

On another note, can anybody let me know if there is a way to prevent the central part of the fender to bend like it is now?

Maxt are you talking about the front center section of the lower splitters? It seems that is how it is. Its not bent.

Well most of them are like this, but unfortunately that's not how the car look when the part is brand new or when out of the factory. This is how it should be, but unfortunately very few are staying like this!

Are the reinforcement pieces installed correctly, if at all?

AS above, make sure you have reinforcement bar inside the rubber splitter and all fasteners are able to tighten in the holes.

In addition to that, you need to take time to make sure the 2 end pieces are tightened up evenly and the centre section has metal seperation strips that are in good condition.

With a little effort you can get the centre section to sit straight and level.

However if you just bolt it all together without thinking how each part will line up with the next, it could quite frankly look, like you have had a low speed crash in the car!

Good suggestion, will make sure that the bodyshop will know what they are doing when fitting the parts together! Ordered everything new as I couldn't stand anymore the look of that centre section...plus few of the attach points on the bumper were broken!

Above refers to Part number 7 in the diagram. Note the requisite screws and speednuts are NOT shown in the diagram itself, but are below the part number in the column to the right

Make a copy of the diagram and give it to the body shop
