Notice I havnt really shown the photo of the rear of the car.

Its because the Akrapovic tail pipes for the Turbo S wont fit with the GT2RS rear bumper.

I have ordered the Akrapovic GT2RS tailpipes and I will see how I can get it to fit on to the Akrapovic Turbo S exhaust. Its going to need custom work for sure

Yes I knew about this. I bought a set of GT2RS titanium tail pipes for when I have my rear converted to GT2RS. I'm just waiting for my bumper and carbon parts to arrive. I already have the lights and other parts.

I want to complete the look as you have done as the GT2RS is my favourite car but I'll never be able to afford one do this will be the closest I can get.

Why do you say the GT2RS has better aerodynamics than your car, you have all the same bodywork and wheels now?

Do you have any photos of how the new radiator and ducting looked after you changed them to GT2RS ones?

New radiator is needed as the water inlet/outlet ports are at different angle due to the way its mounted (ircc)

This is with the GT2RS radiator mounted with (incorrectly) Turbo S air inlet duct. Also GT2RS outlet duct is lying on top of the car uninstalled.




Here is the GT2RS radiator frame with the built-in air ducting channel.. and GT2RS radiator hoses

Here is a picture of the headlamp washer mounting that I had to custom because Porsche cant seem to be able to find the correct parts for me. Anyone know the proper way to fix this issue I have? How does the OEM GT2RS mount the headlamp washer?

Wow this is complicated. So you couldn't fit the front bumper until this radiator and other parts were fitted, or you were just being particular about doing it correctly? Can you tell me what parts I'll need for under the front bumper? Radiator and this kit. Do you have part numbers? I really appreciate your help.

Why didn't you take the parts from your old bumper?
