I fitted the front flaps only. I simply used the existing screws in the liner so no need to drill holes. Applied some strong 3M double sided tape just to hold the centre section - did not want to drill holes to hold centre section.

Don’t think there is any way to retro fit a working clock. Can retro fit the sports plus button and it’s functions but not the Chrono.

Assuming you adopted the proper fitting instructions has the 3M tape worked?

Using the original wheel liner screws at top and bottom (as picture) and some 3M VHB in the centre section will hold each front flap securely. Did not fit rear flaps as did not really like the look and the rear bumper on mine is black plastic in the lower section so there is little risk of stone paint damage.

I think the fronts do a good job of preventing stone chips in lower painted area behind front wheels. Purists will say Porsche's don't have flaps - but each to their own. Front, wing mirrors and half bonnet has PPF to save paint also. My detailer shortly to supply and trial fit Stek windscreen film to front windscreen to protect from stone chips and reduce the possibility of replacement in the future. Will report back on feasibility, longevity and performance! Again, each to their own but..................I like to wear protection :D
