I spotted what will be a pretty rare sight on the roads I reckon, all £38k+ of it...

Good spot

The hatch version is rare enough as it is let alone the convertible

I spotted a new RRS at the weekend, it looks so much better in the metal and I prefur it to the new full fat Range Rover

Spotted in a very rainy street off Great Portland

Every time I see something like that I think back to the Techart Cayenne we had in for repair some years ago (which was more tasteful than that, but only just)

They wanted a fibreglass repair because a replacement (rear) bumper was 'expensive' - I was totally curious as to what 'expensive' meant and so rang the Techart distributor.

He knew instantly what I wanted and which car it was for (there only being a handful in the country at the time) and he quoted a price of over £2000+VAT - but that was only the upper part of the rear bumper and there was another bit which was over £1000+VAT to finish off the job.

I'm not kidding here - over £3000+VAT for 2 pieces of fibreglass to make your car look like this



I'm not even sure how much that's different from stock but the front bumper probably costs a gazillion gijillion pounds!

Now that really is tacky. Nothing looks like it should be there.

Although it is at the Trafford Center, so will fit in well with all the other tacky stuff there.

I'm assuming that's a convertible with a hard top as the proportions all look a little 'skewed'
Still, it does appear to be a rather lot of tat stuck to probably a nicely engineered conversion

Its probably the 996 to 997 conversion that is making you think that... just doesnt look right does it. I would bet on no power, mechanical or other upgrades.

Surely that gap in the pillar and the humped cover over the engine indicates it was once a convertible?

Bloody hideous though, to think that's up to £400k of Porsche!

That is his 3rd NSX I think.

[redchina]

But its not; its a 1999 996 worth £15k and some fibreglass and stickers; a techart modded 997 GT2 it certainly aint...
