Default Wanted: front roll cage for GT3 Clubsport

Can anyone help? A previous owner of my 2004 GT3 Clubsport never fitted the front roll cage (two vertical bars, and horizontal cross bar) - left them in the garage - when he sold the car and no-one requested them, they were thrown in the bin

Does anyone have these pieces - or even a complete Clubsport cage? Happy to pay shipping from the US or Europe to the UK.

TIA

P,

I have the exact same problem and have been searching for years. Porsche Motorsport can sell me the parts for EUR 1100 which I think is very pricey. (Safety has no budget they say) I came across a used full Clubsport cage about 1.5 year back in Germany but acted too slow and it got sold. If I would have got it, I would have kept the front section and sold the rear.

Ciao,

J.

I have 2 front sections in stock.
These are the left and right front vertical bars with the horizontal bar.
They are black and come with the foam parts.
I don't have the hardware but these are just regular metric bolts and nuts anyway.
Open for all offers

Many thanks to Gert - the cage sections arrived here this morning exactly when promissed - and although Gert didn't have the hardware, his introduction to IVM Automotive in Germany had a package arrive from them with all the bolts needed for €88

Excellent service from Carnewall - I'm one happy Porsche driver

Now that you've got your front bars installed, don't forget to wear your helmet!

Don't worry - it will come out later this week - my car is being photographed for GT Purely Porsche on wednesday so I wanted it to look 'standard'. I've another car I use for trackdays so this one's a road only beastie and doesn't need the cage in.

I lived with a GT2 Clubsport with the full cage in and never had a problem - but you're right - in the event of a bump it could hurt

Ok - I'll snap some when she's down at the photo studio on Wednesday - here's a photo I took earlier in the year when the sun was shining!
