Turbo wing on a C2

Borrowing heavily from another member who pioneered the attempt....Here is another (maybe second?) C2 with an OEM turbo wing attached.
I decided against chopping the top of the decklid and only progressively cut the lower area. You need to loosen and widen the OEM hinges to fit, bracketing of latch is custom and spoiler fitment have various options. I think it turned out decent.

Wiring is basic C2 harness w/ bridged 2, 5 pins to prevent any spoiler lights. Fan is stock and cut a hole in turbo plastic to allow C2 airbox breather.


OEM turbo front, GT3 side, RS rear. Status seats. Pretty close to complete per my taste.

It is from a 996 Turbo, stock wing. The decklid doesn't fit by default so I had to chop it with air tools then got it painted.

I applaud your efforts and results! Seems like a lot of work to gain the look. More power to you. Does the wing rise up/down like the turbo's?

I decided against "making room" (remove airbox/secondary air) for the stock hydraulics, so went with fixed post install.

Good looking wing. Blends in real good with the rest of the car. The seats also give your car a sporty look
