Looks like the base of a TT wing and decklid with the centrally located fan and dual air intake openings. The upper wing would normally nest above those curved sides - never seen one without the top hydraulics holes filled and no upper blade - that could be cool ... or I could be wrong
Keep the pics coming.

And then a few pictures...
Exhaust silencers modified (spot the cross-pipes) and polished.
Front bumper with intake slats and headlight washers removed. Clear indicators.
Rear wing in duck profile.
Short shifter fitted. Note colour coded trim piece.

So we decided to keep things very Porsche on our first project. Custom but Porsche. We are trying out several wheel/colour options.
GT3 wheels - colour will change if we go this route.
Standard wheels with new colour. Spacers (7mm / 16mm) fitted.
H&R working the PASM.
Party trick. Mat chrome mirrors to remind old people about the classic Porsche look.
Btw - it is not me turning the pictures! My computer has a mind of its own...

Love the silver mirrors. Agree that these are not my favorite wheel choices. Like the color on the lobsters though. Go with E88 or LMs for the classic look.

Alright then, I get the point. More wheel options to follow... I do have a few more in the shop, but with no tires. Will swop around so you all can vote. Just keep in mind that the selection available here in Africa is somewhat limited - unless I start importing.
We are busy building another 7CS with a single turbo, but the customer has asked us not to post details or pics till the project is finished. Also full colour change.
We on purpose didn't want to create a GT3 or Turbo replica. The idea was a modern "classic" 911 with 2wd, manual, clean lines, etc.
On the drive train side we have a sports exhaust, throttle upgrade, filter, ECU and a lighter clutch assembly. Nothing much - just a bit crisper...
More to follow.

based on their goal made this recommendation...
"The idea was a modern "classic" 911 with 2wd, manual, clean lines, etc."
love a nice bbs but will look too "aftermarket like".
based on what they are trying to do and some subtle gestures to classic Porsche I see the FUCHs (modern style like these in 19) are a nice twist on a classic Porsche wheel IMO. The mentioned in a 19 in that color against the OP cars new paint color I think would look great....

Can't use the Fuchs idea - I already did a 996 Turbo with the 19" type ones. I do like the ones used by M3 Defector - but the agent wants too much $. BBS is too cliche (and I have used those many times anyways).
But thanks for the input - keep it coming.

Feel free to enjoy...
Almost there. Wheels still being discussed. Will get tires and fit other options.
Clean front. Slats and head light washer delete. Badge will follow after polish.
No words needed...
Clean and classic look.
Wing profile. We like.

I would suggest going with fifteen 52 wheels, don't see lots of these on Pcars. Classic overall design with modern cuts.
