We did that with our 997.1 C4s. It wasn’t knackered or, at 65k, that leggy but it’s like new underneath now thanks to 4.1 Hartech (with clutch, pumps, oil and coolant lines, engine mounts, cats, manifolds etc) and a complete rebuild with new dampers, arms and bushes at CoG. Oh, and DSC module too. Drives amazingly. And because it’s 18 years old it flies under most people’s radar.

Just need to smarten up the crossmembers. And try and stop after that….

This Halfords gadget seems to do the trick holding my phone ok, nice and sturdy, you can tighten the clamp into the vent, and its rubber lined so does not scratch the plastic.
Only £8 too

Good shout on the phone holder... I couldn't find anything that fit correctly, as the vents slope away.

So I went full man maths, and designed this:



Then fired up the 3D printer:



And fitted:



Then I could clip on the wireless charger



Just did a trip the 'ring and back via France and it was solid the whole time, which was great.

I need to tweak a little, and maybe raise the camp point, but happy it sits close to the dash and doesn't interfere with my hands on the steering wheel.

Wow, that’s impressive.
