worth contacting Rhonda Roxburgh @ FVD.US to see if a similar deal is available over here ...
True. I would almost think they are coming from the same place. This can't be a huge market.

What brand is that wing?? FVD's own private label? It says it is RS wing, does that mean it is Porsche OEM?

That is the implication and it seems to have the mounts but I'd check. If its legit even at 1900 euros its a huge bargain.

Just because something is OEM doesn't mean it is the best, or even that it is well tested or even adequate. How many of us are using Gen 1 ceramic rotors, OEM toe links, stock springs? How many have had radiator hose issues?
There are many excellent aftermarket manufacturers...Moton, GMG, Cargraphics, Tarrett, etc.

Wrapped and installed in the light of day. I have to say it looks a bit more proportional to the car now.

Saw the wing this week and can say that the fit and finish of this piece is really nice. Now all we need is a set of Motons, E88's, and a "few" Cup/RSR bits and we'll see the LVDell SY special ver2

Thanks guys. The RS-look for the wheels I’m not totally in love with, so these street wheels will stay Silver, or maybe GT Silver when I need new street tires; the track wheels I may get done in flat/satin black eventually, but the polished does look good to me
