So people can justify buying the more expensive (and more profitable) coupe because it's more practical, if that doesn't work and they get the saloon they can fleece more for options.

I'm out.

Can’t see that bush fairing too well when they Remove the car

It looks like it's been done nicely, but £27k seems a bit strong for something with such a limited market.

What’s the story with rear spoilers on GT3s and aero kits. I’ve seen GT3s with the swoopy type spoiler like on our old aero kit one, but I thought GT3s had the flat type spoiler?

Normal gt3 has the swoopy one, gt3rs has the ironing board doesn't it?

Is there a mk1 and mk2?

996 Mk1 vs Mk2 that’s all

You got it

Fair enough.

Prefer the earlier one to be honest, the mk2 one looks a bit half arsed, not very good looking, doesn't look like it has enough angle to do much, similar to a lot of the other flat wings which appeared around that time.

I'm the other way round, I never liked the swoopy one.

I never quite put two and two together when people referred to aero kit as GT3 look because I always associated the MK 2 spoiler with the GT3 in my head.

Now I know!

I don’t disagree with you.

In isolation the rear quarter isn’t the most attractive angle for the mk2



A bit more cohesive when judging it as a whole

Nah, that’s perfect!

The RS is different again, like a bigger version of the mk2 with end plates and early 3.6s like the one I had were offered with a different Aerokit to the GT3 mk2.



Bizarrely that image came up of my old car for sale in Surrey.

I was just about to mention that smaller spoiler. Sometimes (very wrongly) called a GT3 spoiler when people conflate Aerokit & GT3.

And then the Aerokit spoiler on the Turbo / C4S is different again:



And don't forget the GT2:

What a shitty advert. Selling cars privately is bad enough - but why not spend 30 mins writing a comprehensive advert including all the key details people want to know - service history, spec, owners etc - and save yourself a shitload of hassle fielding calls from drive-by-wannabes asking the same old questions?

It's like people want to make their own lives difficult.

I like the look of that


The smart; I'm a bit meh with those, I think I'd prefer - and be more impressed by - one that was finished more normally, more factory (at least close the engine off, like a Clio V6). Mind you I'm thinking of road use, it SJ might find it suitable for his weekend escapades as it is
