Porsche 996 Wide Body

We blogged about this build when it was first launched and apart from the RSR there are very few aero kits around for the Porsche 996 Carrera 2 chassis, Dom the owner of Miles Works Automotive decided he would change that and what a breath of fresh air its turned out to be, the Purists wouldn’t agree but Dom really doesn’t care and neither do we, as this is a build like no other and at over 7 feet wide at the business end this is a serious looking wide body 996 Porsche.

Over the months we have seen the changes being added month after month as the options for this kit expand, so what is new and what is included in the package, what we can say is we adore the optional extra GT race rear wing, it’s a fantastic £2000 addition and one we personally think that this conversion not on needs, it demands it.

The main body has stayed true to form, the chiselled purposeful front bumper is now finished off with the front splitter and soon to be added front race canards, which will finish off the front end, the front flares really do house some impressive width too in the form of 10x19 with a negative -08, clothed with 275/30R19 front tyres amazed they manage to contain the super aggressive offset, we love flow of the side skirt and the way they tie the wide front flares into the super aggressive even wider rear flares, yet it all looks so OEM race car, with the rear flares housing a 14x19 width wheel with a crazy negative -70 offset, they are smothered with 345/30R19, we thought our 997 R13 was wide but it has nothing on this 996 and the best bit is its all tastefully done, its super wide but nothing looks out of place, it just works and looks like the Porsche factory have built it to go racing at Lemans.

So now this stunning design is complete, Dom has been adding to the optional extras list and he now has 3 various rear wing assemblies, our personal favourite is the 993 GT2 evo inspired style set up with the super high blade that screams race car, just seems to suit the portions of the car really well and would be our choice when choosing from the options list.

The Porsche 996 has always be the 911 chassis which Porsche enthusiast seemed to like or loathe, the marmite of the Porsche line up, personally we love it, we have no issues with the front headlights which is the most talked about area of the car as this is the area that people dislike, but you only have to look at cars like the DP Motorsport 996 DP5 to see what you can do to the 996 look, admittedly that look comes at a huge expense, but you can do such a lot to the 996 model and make it look stunning for a relatively small price.

Carbon Fibre Wide Body aero kit for Porsche 996 Chassis

For the standard 996 C2 or C4 narrow body we offer the slant nose, which some will love because you lose the oem front light set up, for the wider C4 or Turbo we offer our very own super GT2R Evolution wide body that give the wider Porsche cars an even more aggressive look, available in light weight carbon fibre or our all new cloth based GRP, so let’s look at the GT2R evo aero upgrade and see what you get in the conversion.

The front bumper is a wider RSR/ GT2R affair that is mated to a pair of much wider front fenders with huge extensions moulded in ready to house 10.5” to 11” wheels, you can even fit a 12” front set up if you can find the correct road tyres, but be warned this is a very aggressive set up that is really only needed for an out right track car, for road use we recommend a 10.5x18 with a 275/35R18 tyre. The side skirts connect these huge front blisters to an even larger rear quarter flare that can house wheels 14x18 wide sitting on 335/30R18 or 345/30r18 rear tyres which mate to a wider Turbo style vented rear bumper, aggressive diffuser, ducktail engine cover with a choice of rear wing assembly, it all adds up to a nice little super wide 996 aero conversion that will turn heads, even the heads that dislike the 996 in its o.e.m disguise, 19" wheels can also be used for this conversion if required.

For those that want to enhance or even lose weight from the 996, we also offer, carbon roof replacement, carbon fibre light weight doors, polycarbonate windows, front hoods, and a stunning carbon rood scoop with light weight rear window.

Old & New Porsche 996 Slant Nose

Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get over to the SEMA show this year, due to commitment and the fact we have had a busy few months, also trying to get our own build over the finish line, we just didn't have the time to be away on a jolly, albeit we would of loved a break in sin city, next year we will be in attendance if all goes to plan.

One car we would of liked to of seen up close and personal was the new Porsche 996 slant nose conversion from our partners Old & New Japan, but thanks to companies like The Speedhunters, builds like this are never going to be hidden away, with some stunning photography from Mark Riccioni, this is the conversion in all of its glory.

This particular 996 was built by Jason from Rotiform and we have to say the build looks pretty special, we have been waiting on seeing a black slant nose since the Kyza released his amazing black render of the old & new 997 version, the Gold centred Rotiform LHR wheels just suit this build to perfection, and there is no denying Rotiform are leading the way at the moment with the old school wheel designs being modernised, the perfect wheel design for this old & new conversion.

There is a lot of love for this conversion simply down to the fact you get to update the 996 front lights, they are like Marmite, they are either liked or loathed, there is no in-between, personally we love the 996 with or without the lights, but the slant nose is something pretty special to look at.

The kit is available to order now and consists of the following parts, with lots of optional extras that can be purchased with the build.

The old & new Porsche 996 Slant Nose

Front bumper, front fenders, Removable front fender vents, side skirts, fuel cap, rear over fenders, engine cover and rear wing assembly, front lights with lens covers, front DRL's

We can supply the kit as it is or we can supply and fit with our UK partners Reflex Auto Design on th fit and finish, the kits can also be supplied through RAD in Northampton.

We also offer various suspension options for this conversion, if you want a airlift set up the boys at RAD can supply and fit, we also offer a full bespoke JRZ or Bilstein coilover set up as well as fully adjustable control arms and other suspension components as well as a full hybrid exhaust system, with a choice of 3 piece forged aluminium or super lightweight forged magnesium custom manufactured wheels, so if your looking for a drive in drive out conversion then get in touch with us and lets make your dreams come true.
