Hello everyone new to post here,
                Iis there anyone out there who can confirm to me that if the genuine 997 front panels
ie the wings, bonnet, head light bumper etc fit an older 996 models ?
I have seen people do this but no one has explained how to do it or how hard it is???
I recently spoke to one part supplier who confirmed that it wouldnt fit, but i dont believe this as i have seen it done  in pictures etc.
please can someone help?

Im pretty sure Ive seen tis done before.  I cant be sure but I think some of these parts are interchangeable.  I even think there are some kits out just for this kind of facelift.

I'll have a look round and see what I cand find.

I hope others will chime in on this one.

I appreciate all your help,
I have looked all over the web and there are many conversion kits availabe
but they are all abroad and I don't feel too comfortable sending £2500 to someone
moulding these in his garage .
Porsche are not too helpfull either as some say it will fit as others refuse.
YouTube has a video of one guy who even converted the rear end but he is not
replying to my mails as yet.

Hi Kenny

Looking around I think tere's some fettling to be done for such a conversion.

I saw a thread on PH's but I see you found that one.  The conversion looks amazing, but looking at some of the pics, It shows you have to play with the panels to get it to work.
