off the details of the bodywork better,” says Iby. “When
it was black, you lost the impact of the carbon spoiler
and air inlets, and it was harder to see the black vents
on the wing and rear bumper.” Custom matt black and
Nardo grey stripes further add to the race car feel.
Iby has totally transformed the look of this boosted
Porsche. It’s now wearing a full GT3 R carbon fi bre aero
kit, supplied by the crew at V.A.D. It adds huge width
and includes deeply sculpted air intakes behind the
rear wheels, and on top of the front arches. All it needs
is some race livery and you’d swear it’d come straight
from the front row of the Porsche Supercup grid.
The cavernous arches are fi lled with a set of equally
large wheels in the form of Litespeed Racing 3-piece
19s. These deeply-dished (and very expensive) rims
are an eye watering 14-inches wide at the rear and
10.5-inches at the front. Wrapped in premium Michelin
rubber, they look simply stunning tucked up in those
wide arches.
The ride height looks bang on the money, thanks
to Iby’s decision to install some BILSTEIN B16 PSS10
suspension. The chassis has been further sharpened
