Not sure about online.. and there are more than one bit of plastic each side - di you mean the flaps, or the cone shaped bit?

You can get them posted from your OPC - they are quite cheap. Give them a call?
 
Hi Tony,

Part numbers are 996 504 503 00 and 996 504 504 00 according to side. I called them mini spoilers/deflectors when I bought mine. I confirm that they are not very expensive. To avoid replacing them on a regular basis, I cut 1 cm. off of the new ones as I was touching everywhere.

Good luck
Salvador
 
Salva,

If you mean the vertical flaps, be aware they ARE part of the aerodynamics, and people have reported large variations to the handling when they are worn/broken - when compared to new ones.
 
There called a "Rubber Lip" on PET, and are only £8.84 each (inc VAT).
I must replace mine, as you say it affects the aerodynamics at speed.

Regards,
Bluebox.

Mark,

Thanks for the info. Bluebox as shown exactly the part. In the Porsche workshop they are called "cover left and right" with combination screws B4.8 x 19.

Anyway where we live, we have are dozens of humps and we use to touch everywhere. I had no option but cut them slightly otherwise I would have needes a new set every week. For some road humps we actually have to stop dead, put 1st gear and then go, totally crazy. In September 03 I put the news ones and cut them. I haven't noticed any difference at high speeds, management seems happy with her car. Normally driven on motorways at 130 kph.. The car was driven on the Montmelo circuit during the Porsche Parade in Spain, no problems. Then we did a long trip via Millau and la Route des Grandes Alpes, and nothing there either, that is our experience for what it's worth.

As I say had no option but cut them due to the roads here.

In fact the car goes better than a ever with just 45.500 km on the clock (Jan 2000) , will buy new tyres this year.

Thanks again
Take care
Salvador
