Vorsteiner and other exterior upgrades..

Hi all,

I recently got back into a Porsche, long time overdue, and I have decided to make it mine and unique. I have a black 997.1 08 manual cabrio.

I am looking to upgrade the front bumper to a Vorsteiner VT-R and possibly the rear bumper and tail lights to a 997.2.

I like the stance and look right now but want a more unique look.

I have just ordered a custom steering wheel, Carbon top, perforated leather grips and napa leather bottom fatter all round and a 10mm red stripe on top.

I also purchased the double din facia and bose integration kit from Del Rey Customs but have not installed it yet. My plan is the top of the line AVIC Pioneer.

I may even customise the Double Din, AC unit, strip switch and cubby box to Leather.

My car already has the following modifications..

Cargraphic exhaust with 3 settings
Bilstein upgrade with lift kit
Lowered but not too much
More agressive suspension setup
Glossy Black original 997.1 Turbo wheels
Short shift
Wheel spacers 12mm front and back

Any experiences or advice would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Please post some pics!

Have you thought of upgrading wheels? I'd like to see your black Turbo wheels though. An upgraded rear wing would also really improve the aesthetic as well.

Shameless plug but it sounds to me like you're missing a key piece of the puzzle there, a tune

Well WheelB.
some of your project look amazing.

I'm scheduled in for a tune, any recommendations on companies? Have heard of a company in Germany called Mcchip DKR. Has anybody heard of them? Any other recommendations on a tune would be much appreciated.

I installed some new Dectane LED taillights last night. I can't believe how easy it was, it literally took me 15 minutes.
