Here's my recently completed attempt at a Mk1 GT3 touring guise using some non factory components. Ruf side skirts and a GT3 Tek front lip. Haven't seen that combo elsewhere, but I think they pair well together. Please excuse the paint condition for now. In desperate need of a wash and polish, and a full repaint might be happening in the not so distant future.
Looks good. I'm a fan of those wheels and wish I still had mine. Doh!
What kind of finish do your alien pass throughs have? I may paint mine, the silver is nice. Is it gloss or textured?

Thanks. Pass thru rosettes are gloss. Came that way when I picked up the seats, and I've seen others the same color, but I haven't been able to find that option listed in any of the PETs.
The carbon fiber wing insert is made by Cargraphic, but I think they discontinued that item. It doesn't move up or down. Here is a close-up pic for your reference.
Good info - I've seen this wing before (painted though) and wondered who made it.
So, I've got a Mark 1 car and I've got a Mark 2 Aero wing on the back. I was considering doing the Mk 2 front end conversion (I have a Mk 2 Aero front bumper and everything else), but I'm also considering buying a Mk 1 aero front bumper as well.
However, when I've REALLY been trying to play "spot the differences" between the Mk 1 regular and aero, the one major difference I see Is that the Aero front bumper is all one piece and painted (and then you get the vertical painted portions, seen circled.) However, on the Carrera front bumper, the bottom is basically one very long ellipse, and in behind, you have black, unpainted plastic covering where the third radiator can be (and I think this is a separate piece from the rest of the main bumper, correct me if I'm wrong).
So, my question is, considering finding the Mk 1 Aero bumper is quite expensive and rare, is that the only major difference, or did I fail in spot the differences?
