99-00 Aero Kit I Side Skirts and Install

[flat6]

Hello!

This may be my first post so be gentle. I have purchased a Aerokit and it did not have any of the fasteners that I need to install the side skirts.

Can anybody tell me first off exactly what I need and the part numbers/quantity, and/or if there is an install kit I can buy from Porsche that includes everything I need?

I have a 99 C2 Cabriolet and itis a 6speed.

Anything you can tell me would help. If anything can somebody direct me to a competant parts person?

Thanks for all your help in Advance.

I have attached the pages from the PET showing the aerokit for 98-01 models. There is a TSB (03/00) on the TSB pages which has fitting instructions. HTH.

BTW, you need to contribute to see the TSB's.

Once again I thank you Richard. This is an excellent site and I do not mind contributing at all.

Thanks!

Hey Raymond,

I also installed the side skirts (the older version), but I did not want to drill holes for the screws. Therefore I purchased some double sided tape from 3M for this purpose and glued the aluminium strips (which hold the plastic skirt) in place.

This allows me to remove it in case I don't like them any more.

Regards

Wolfgang, you have made my day. I was reading the install instructions and was thinking that drilling was not my thing, just another thing that can lead to rust.

This is what confuses me, does that aluminum strip go on the rocker panel or the weld seam below the car?

Can anybody tell me what part numbers I need for screws and attachments or should I just go off the PET and buy each piece one by one? It has to be easier than that, there must be a kit.

Thanks Again Wolfgang...

Hi Raymond,

you need the skirts themselfes (pos26), the aluminum strips (pos28), the tapping screws and u-clamps (pos23 and 25). I did neither use the spacer (pos7) nor the adhesive foil (pos 24) and it worked fine. The product numbers and the quantity can be seen in the parts list.

But if I were you I would just order the complete set. Discard the screws and use double sided tape instead and you have all you need (don't forget some silicon sealant/glue).

Regards

Wolfgang

PS: the aluminium panel is fixed at the rocker panel a few cm just below the lower door lip. It's a kind of Z-profile where the upper edge of the plastik sill is then hung in. The lower part is then screwed from below the car with the u-clamps (holes already exist).
