I was lucky enough to buy the black C2S from 911 V last week. Excellent service and the car was beautifully prepared by the team at 911V, so thank you!
Car feels great, very analogue compared to modern stuff and although it would be out run by a Golf R or 330d, I just love the look of it. This one might be a keeper. Couple of pics if anyone is interested. Thinking about replacing the Turbo S wing with the normal C2S cover but will enjoy the car for a bit first.

Lovely car , enjoy. I'd leave the wing as is for a good while and maybe after a year or so revisit the decision.

Fantastic. I would personally remove the boot spoiler as i think the purer lines exacerbate the wide hips even further without the distraction of the spoiler there.

Cool!

Those wheels where a masterstroke by Porsche by the way, Love them on 993s and 996s! No other wheel look better on those models IMO

They are ovely wheels, though I think they look best viewed on the left hand side of a car due to their design. Sorry, a bit pedantic.

Regards the wing, I love the rsr or get wing on these. Not to everyone's taste though. smile

Nice car, congrats.

IMHO : drop those chinese tail pipes and get some original big ovals.

They are made by Gembella - I quite liked them until you said that

+1 lose the spoiler, just ensure you get a proper 993 C2S spoiler.

I've always thought that too. On an aesthetic level I couldn't put up with a car that looked so different on one side to the other.

On an engineering level it must lead to differential drag and brake cooling.

Don't get me wrong, lovely car - well done - but the wheels aren't for pedant me.

I have never considered this! And I thought I was a pedant.

i miss my old C2S. i sent my car to Wayne at Chipwizards and he found some more torque/power and got rid of the lift off shunt the car had. Much smoother to drive and it seemed to rev harder too. Great Cars.
