Thanks deth! The splitter is very unique! It actually has kind of a history so to speak as it was mounted in 1998 at the 24 hours of Daytona on the Reiser Callas RSR. The team made two bumpers for the RSR, mine is the actual one raced and the other one is owned by a friend. The space you see in the middle which is covered by glass it was made to accomodate the Hella additional lights for the race. The aluminum part is providing more downforce and also provides plenty of air for the side mounted oil coolers which on an aircooled 911 its the lifeblood really. My temps while racing used to climb to 10 oclock on very hot days, now they barely reach the 9 oclock mark. big difference really.
One last note on this, my mechanic who is the "Callas" of the Reiser Callas part, nearly fainted when he received the bumper! I bought it from Joel Reiser and did not tell anything to my mechanic. When Joel sent it over my mechanic was floored as he was the one who actually fabricated that bumper back then!!! Small world indeed ha?

Nice cars dude! Don't you happen to have a nice shot with both of them on a nice location in high-res to be used as desktop? They are perfect one beside the other!

wow...I'm fluttered! Unfortunately it takes two drivers to stage a shot like this... I only have pics of both in the garage... Maybe one day!
Here are a couple more from the rear:

LOL you are right about the two drivers thing

to drive and, come back by feet and take the second on the location would be a mess indeed

Is the C2 Cabrio your daily drive or do you own also something "normal"?

you are a lucky man, my friend. not one but 2 porsches and a bmw. someday i aspire to be just like you. the front bumper history is though really something else.

Nice to see the pics! great cars, all of them. Congradulations

Very nice indeed! Although I have to sympathise with what I assume to be bumpers for american legislation? Why are they on the racecar? Do you drive it on normal roads then?
If so, I assume you have to handle many idiots trying to prove they can drive...
