Hi Guys,
After what feels like 'forever', I've finally got my TT back after getting the GT2 EVO Carbon Fibre kit fitted and painted.
Not much room to take pictures and a cold winters day, but I just had to take some photo's to share with you all.
enjoy...

Woaaaahhhh....
I'm missing words... It's stunning! You really picked some very neat and nice details also.
Love the wheels, love the rear wing, but I must say that I'm SUCH a sucker to that front.
Now that you posted these "I wanna drool all over your car"-pictures. Please tell what parts you've added, where you ordered it! Did your car pass inspection with that rear wing?! Or do you replace the banana when you're not on the track?

Jim,
Gorgeous! the colour is really nice and the finish amazing. Now to some questions![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
What is that intercooler? By Design? Protomotive? I can't tell from the picture..
Would you mind posting a close up picture of the rear flares where they meet the lower door sill? I am having trouble fitting mine, something looks strange on my car where it mates to the body at the lower part, just behind the door.
Congratulations

Pleased you all like it..
The kit is from cargraphic (www.cargraphic.de) and was a nightmare to fit.
I fitted the arch extensions first, but be aware that this is drastic work
, the wheel arches need cutting right back to allow fitment and there is no going back once it's done. Believe me when I say you will cry when you see the car without the extensions fitted!. This is probably why you dont see very many full GT2 converstions, most people play save and keep to the bolt on parts. I took comfort from the fact that a friend has a genuine GT2 and porsche have done exactly the same to his!
The cargraphic wheel arch kit differs slightly from the genuine arches, in that the fronts are a little more rounded and don't extend out as far and the rears extend right down to the bottom of the sill, while the genuine rear's stop at the line 3 inches short of the sill bottom.
I had to fabricate all the arch mount rods which was done by a local engineering company in stainless, and wheel arch liners were a real pain. But these are the bits that are the most important to making the finish look perfect.
The front PU also required a serious amount of work to fit. I insisted that the whole kit must look 'factory' when fitted and as such this is why it has taken 9 months to complete.
It is a bare metal repaint and is midnight blue (the original colour), but now has a subtle purple flip to it, (my painter got excited! not sure if this is how midnight blue should be?) So it has a very suttle change of hue from black to blue to purple which make the curves look fantastic.
The paintwork is simply stunning. It is so DEEP and shinny I am struggling to get a decent photo due to the reflections. No orange peel in site. Just a perfect mirror finish.
The rear is a Genuine GT2 Unit with the Cargraphic 60" Banana Carbon fibre wing. It has the Porsche logo in the clear resin on the underside - very cool!
I have the standard wing which I intend to swap for non track days.
I have refrained from modifying the interior, I use the car most on public roads with the odd trackday thoughout the year thrown in for fun and as such feel I have the best of both worlds, all the looks and agression of the GT2 with all the luxury and comfort of a Turbo.
Here a a few more photo's, I will do more in the sping as I use it more.

Jauder, it is polar silver, I just had to brighten up the pic as it was too dark in the rear. Everything has been fitted now and they are working on the interior.
