Ok Bob, redeem yourself sir!

find out the p/n# price, and retrofit capability on a 997.1 of the new thicker
GT3 wheel below and I shall stop crying myself to sleep every night at the
wicked slight against me!

(also can I reuse the 997.1 airbag with it?)

I will certainly post some of mine when I get them ... but I suspect others may get to this before I even get my parts from Germany ... which is currently scheduled for the end of the month...

Does anyone have an ETA on these?
Please let us know the fit and install when you get them.

I received the CUP 996 ducts for the front, I don't like the fit, but I will get the car on the lift at FVD and let them show me how it is supposed to go on, I am probably not handy enough....

They are a bit bigger than I thought, I wonder how long they will last :-)

I was quoted 7/23-27 arrival in the US from Germany, I will probably get to a
DIY attempt about a week after ...

Well I think they last fine on a 996 ... I had heard indirectly that they may need
some dremel application to fit on a 997 but that is uncomfirmed!

Part number is available, but there is nothing in the pricing system yet so also no availability. Shows that is uses the same airbag.... I'll keep checking to see when it becomes available...

Parr tried to fit these today, but unfortunately, the lower arms must be slightly different on the MKII, as theses ducts don't quite fit my RS, a few minor mods need to be made 1st.

Will update when sorted.
