996 C2 - first modifications done
so, finally i found some time to take some shots with the modifications i've made at the beginning of june.
first modification: mounted the mk1 sideskirts
second modification: the mk2 wing in the back
the decision which wing to take took a while. first i thought to take the mk1 version to complete the gt3 mk1 look. on the other hand i had a good offer for a mk2 version in which i personally prefere. after a few photoshops and some weeks passing by i bought this one and sent all the stuff with the car into the garage.
i really like the result, the look is great. and it's really impressive how much downforce more you get when going faster den 150 km/h. i could test that on the anneau du rhin racing course in mid june and on the german autobahn 2 weeks ago when i drove back home to switzerland from the stuttgart airport at night .
the next things i'd like to do are lowering the car for a few cm and new rims. i haven't decided yet which ones to take. and finally it should get another exhaust system, maybe fabspeed ore something similar, it has to be loud! we'll see... i guess the mod fever broke out...
here are the pics. looking forward to read your thoughts about the mods.

Good job !
Where are you in CH ?
I'll have to move there within the next year (tour of duty at the Novartis HQ in Basel).
Was wondering what the Porsche situation is in CH. Guess that bringing my car (a C2) for this 18 month assignment is out of the question ? Do I need a C4 for CH, or would a C2 with winter tires be able to cope with the winter condictions ?

in switzerland you'll find a lot of porsches, the market is full of it.
i really don't know if it makes sence to ship it over for 18 month. i don't know how much you'll have to pay for that. but anyway, if you're going to live in the basel area you'll have a lot of very nice roads to ride on. and crossing the french border there are even more very nice roads. and btw, just half an hour of basel away is a very nice racetrack Link.
send me an pm when you're in switzerland
