    There are 2 side plastic clips and a few plastic clips in the bottom and two in the upper part that are dificult to see but they are there. Maybe if you use a small screwdrive and try to lift the plastic to have a look under the plastic. Always be careful not to brake anything. Best Regards, Alex

    You use a pry tool similar to the ones sold in this website: http://www.macarbon.com/store/accessories-9/ MAcarbon Interior Install Tools ( 3rd tool from the left ) They are press fitted, but you have to be careful not to push them too hard, before removing the needles watch the gap between the needle and the gauge face. The needles enter in some kind of hollow tube that transports light to the needles, but the hollow tube is connected to some kind of motor. I can tell you that this is not a easy task to do, so be careful. Best Regards, Alex

    It requires balls of steel to do it. Here is the GT3 gauge face completely dissembled. Here is the problem i had after changing the GT3 gauge face and needles to yellow. Even the needles were yellow with the light off, with the lights on the leds of the carrera S were orange, i had to take it all apart again and change the board leds from orange to yellow and final result was a perfect replica. Will post a picture later with the final result. Best Regards, Alex

    I inserted a GT3 One. Looks so good. Had to take out the needles for a couple of time to make the right adjustment, but didn´t broke any. I bought a GT3 complete cluster. Took it apart and removed the needles of the GT3 and after that the gauge face. Installed everything in my Carrera S gauge face, even the yellow GT3 needles. When i fired up the gaugle cluster the yellow needles were orange, the led in my board was orange. Had to dismantle my gauge face again and change the leds that give light to the neddles with the ones supplied with the GT3 gauge cluster. Now it is perfect. Best Regards, Maika

    Those are dead spots. Lets say that the pixels are not working. If you take your car to a Porsche dealer they will try to charge you a new cluster unit since they do not sell just the display unit as a spare part. Best Regards, Maika

    The boot inside has loads of holes and air passes through the outside ram air and goes to a EVOLUTION-S ram air filter.

    I will take a picture and send you via PM.

    Best regards,

    Hi, can you email me or pm me as I am in the process of converting my 997 s with the GT3rs rear spoiler and would love to see some photos on the way you managed to get around the airbox, can you snap a pic of the rear boot lifted so i can see the engine..

    thanks alot.

    I live in Portugal. That is not going to work for me. But thanks anyway for the advice. Regards.
  13. M-Maika
    Agree with you. Probably it wont even work at all. I think i will stick to the gauge face instead of the full cluster change. Problem will be to remove the needles and putting them back in the same place. I have already did a searched and that is a PITA. Regards,
  14. M-Maika
    Not much, but since my body kit is a GT3RS I wanted to upgrade my gauge faces or complete gauge cluster. Thanks.
  15. M-Maika
    Can i change my Carrera s complete cluster for a GT3 one ? Will i get errors on the dash when starting the car ? Thanks.
