Had the car for three months now and as usual i've got the itch to start modding :o
If anyone has any good idea's or inspirational shots etc. I would be most grateful for your input. ;)
Check out a couple of recent pics with her in standard trim, the problem being is that these cars look so good straight from the factory that i'm struggling to find tasteful mods. :(
Mods done:
Techart Exhaust
DMS Re-Map
Mods on order:
Techart Tips
New 18" Wheels
Mods i'm considering:
Yellow Seat Belts
Designtek Carbon Fibre Rear Cage

TBH, I will not do anymore to the styling side other than colour coding the plastic front lower lip. The GT2 bodykit is just nice.
Yellow seat belt is lovely but have you considered racing harness? Matched with a half rear cage will give the GT2 a very purposeful look.
I would also change the steering wheel for a chunky Ruf or Rial version.

Cheers Nick,
Lower Lip is a definate no no unfortunately as ground clearance is virtually non-existent :o , I can't remember the last time I took her out without catching it on some bad road surface/speed bump etc...
Racing harness' are a good idea and would certainly finish the interior off once i've decided on the Rear Cage. ;)
Steering Wheel - Not sure :confused: , i'll have a look around and see if something catches my eye. ;)
Cheers Fas & DriftR.
rahrah, CF Wingblade's are cool only they don't give enough effect against Black IMO. Gemballa Hood is a little OTT, however Sportec Alloys do look very good although i've decided on new wheels which should be with me by the weekend.

Nice list AJ, I can see you've been doing a bit of research. :D
DV's and Hose Kit are definately something I will do along with a "probably" for the Headers, however anything more is a little overkill IMO but i'll certainly keep an open mind for anything else that catches my eye in the future. ;)

Ha! i was waiting for this , lovley car as it is but always room for improvment. I mean carbon mirrors & wing would look good but would you even notice it on black!
What rims have you gone for Carl?
Im taking it the car runs circa 520hp?

Hi Paul,
Yes, cars running around the 520-530bhp mark and believe me when I say you can feel every one of those horses... :D
I've been deliberating over wheels for a couple of months now and decided to follow the GT2's motorsport heritage and go with OEM Wheels over Split Rims etc. New Wheels are 996GT2 MY04 (GT3 Style) as they suit the car to a T IMO, whilst showing off a little more of Disc & Caliper for increased sex appeal... :cool:

I think you know i like them wheels ;)
Good choice , not a fan of the stock wheels but look better on a '2 as they really fill the arches.
520 , man , our turbo is 480 and 4wd , i can only imagine the thrust , amazing!
The car iv bought dynos @ 407 hp , lol , bugger!
Roll cage is the only option , stainless ?
At least your (kind of) limited with mods!
Any plans for the ring
