Sorry, I couldn't resist!
I believe the term "Cessna Wing" was used when I posted this question

In my opinion, the factory hit it out of the park with the MKI GT3 / aero. I feel it was the best narrow body car ever created. Everything just flowed like it should.

Where did you get the front lip for your front bumper? I have been for one for ages!

That looks to be the factory lip for the Aero bumper just painted body color to match. Same lip was on my old car in the pictures above just hard to make out on my car since it's black.

Any dealer can get it for you, but I don't think it fits on the standard bumper.

Its the front splitter. Not sure on the fitment. I do know mine is held in place by plastic rivots.

I keep thinking of all those mid 80s to mid 90s Porsches I looked at that ran like a miss-firing Ford F150 but were resplendent with the "Turbo" look, swelled rear end, the huge out of place whale tale and some hard-as-a-board racing seat and a ran-out motor, bad gauges, poor brakes, worn tires and a huge price tag, because of that "Turbo" look.

Plastic add-ons are no substitute for the real thing nor do they seem enhancing to me. I don't think you can improve of the Almighty's creation or Porsche's with a nose job and a implant.

I'm not a fan of the Mk1 aerokit either 100plus. It doesn't look bad in pictures here, but in person, never really liked it.

Whatever you do for a wing, make sure to add a lip or something to the front bumper to balance it out. Otherwise it'll just look funny. And some sideskirts would really round out the whole package.

Have you looked at what MA Shaw has to offer? Not sure how much shipping to Singapore would be, but they make great quality stuff and have a lot of interesting wing options.

Don't worry, that will be coming soon. They are currently in the places where the previous owner had them. Yes, they are 18" wheels.

It came with the car; has a Porsche part number stamped into the underside. It is painted to match; needs to be repainted from close encounters of the concrete kind.

It does. I have one on mine. It's quite inexpensive, too.
