Aerokit "Turbo"
Vehicle Type:
911 Turbo (996)
Model Year:
MY 2001 (1)
Concerns:
Retrofitting
Information:
The Aerokit "Turbo" consists of a new spoiler lip for the front spoiler and a new rear lid (hereafter referred to as trunk lid) with a solid spoiler. A brake light in the spoiler will replace the standard additional brake light fitted in the standard spoiler.
The new spoiler lip and the new trunk lid with spoiler must always be mounted on the vehicle simultaneously. The installation of one of these parts is not permitted and not approved!
After removing the spoiler from the trunk lid (e.g. when repairing), new microencapsulated screws must be used. These can be ordered separately (see parts list). The Aerokit "Turbo" is also available ex-works for new vehicles under Exclusive option No. "XAF". In addition, the standard side member panels are painted the same colour as the vehicle.
