any difference of standard carrera bonnett and a RS bonnett?

how about the doors?

911SLOW

Bonnet same part number for 997 carrera gt3 gt3rs and turbo : 997 511 011 00

Doors same for 997 gt3/ gt3rs/ turbo : 997 531 011 03 and 997 531 012 03
997 carrera has different part number for doors 997 531 011 04 and 997 531 012 04

I think from an article that the 997 turbo doors were lighter than the carrera but im not sure.

Besides compared to carbon they are all heavy.

All gt and turbo model doors are aluminium and standard carrera etc are normal steel,think all the bonnets are aluminium

As per the Service Information 2007 technik 911GT3:

Front Hood

To achieve the lowest possible vehicle weight, the front hood is made from aluminum. The luggage compartment lid is taken from the current 911 (997) generation, and compared to a sheet metal design offers a weight savings of approx. 13 lbs. (6 kg).

Front Doors

To achieve the lowest possible vehicular weight, the doors of the new 911 GT3 (997) are made from aluminum. The doors are taken from the new 911 Turbo (997) and compared to a steel metal construction offer a weight saving of approx. 15 lbs. (7 kg) per door.

The door channel reinforcement and door reinforcement are inserted at the top and middle of the door frame respectively. The reinforcements guarantee excellent transmission of forces from the front to the rear of the car in the event of a head-on collision, as well as excellent absorption of energy in a side impact.

At some point, the turbos changed from steel to aluminum doors. My son's '01 TT has steel doors, the magnetic numbers still work.

And to confirm, my '06 997 has an aluminum bonnet, same as my GT3.
