Hi, I'm chasing an underbody part, and don't seem to be having any luck doing a parts search via google.  Does anyone know the better part search sites? Specifically, I'm looking for the lower control arm diffusers from the 718 Spyder.



Cheers

982 505 569 for Left, 982 505 570 for Right. There's an A and B revision based on production date of 8/27/2020. Not sure what the difference is.

Try these guys: https://www.ladismantler.com/  I've bought parts for my Boxster there when other places didn't have them.  They are a Porsche specialized recycler.

TIL that control arm diffusers are a thing.

I seem to remember that someone (maybe David???) posted up about these and that the ones from a GT3 were cheaper and better (an upgrade) and could even be used on other cars with some fab work.

Those are the fronts and they are brake cooling ducts.

Yep, those are only like $7 each shipped too!

edit* You rock!  That got me most of the way there, but I think the B revision is what is shown in the photos.  I've ordered one to see what actually shows up!

Seems like the specific question has been answered, but for reference and the answer to the general question, online parts catalog:

I just ordered these and the GT3 front ducts from Suncoast Porsche. Full report and install on my 986 time attack car when they arrive...

Got some parts from Germany today!  The correct rears had the 'A' suffix.
