Yes, it said Carrera 4 but it really identifies as a GT3

does anyone know how to find the bottom radio trim piece? I can't find it listed anywhere


Unfortunately it's not just the little piece. Its the whole frame that holds everything, 9965522311101C

thank you for that confirmation! I just found it but I can't believe it. At least it's only $50.

Noticed you have the lines disconnected to your quickjacks with the car fully up and locked.
The manual says to never do that, I accidentally did it once and it was all the strength I could muster to get them connected again.
If you know a way around this let me know.

You need to "lower" the lift with the locks in place still so it stays up but releases the pressure from the system, then you can disconnect and reconnect them with normal effort. Also, you should always lower the lift to be on the locks after you raise it, you shouldn't keep the car elevated under hydraulic pressure.

Yup, original HID headlamps with probably original bulbs. Pretty happy with the output but I think the throw could be a bit further. Don't want to blind people though!
