That has a little more shine than your Golf did in Belgium

Aha David ! Yes it did until Anglesey last month . How's you, out much ?

Unfortunately, not. Absolutely hosed at work and traveling out of the country most weeks. Working from home this week so hopefully my car will get some exercise.

That's one of the nicest looking 996 Turbos I've seen! Don't see many red ones.

I was wondering that? Looks great.

Looks like a GT2 "blade" attached to the standard Turbo hydraulic rams?

Could be talking utter bks there however.

Looks like a Misha GTM1 add-on wing.

That is gorgeous. It may have finally made the 996TT vs 997C2S decision for me

How many red ones are there?

Thanks for posting.

Lovely cars.

[Moosh]

Not too sure how many red ones there are out there. Including my one and theredbaron I only know of one other. I am sure there must be a few, but red was not so popular on the 996 turbo.

Not sure of the make. Carbon fibre thing purchased damaged off eBay via one of the Porsche parts people, had a small crack in it. My rams were getting slow, so it was the perfect upgrade and disconnected the spoiler gubbins.

Did you manage to eliminate the 'spoiler failed' warning message?

Yes. Disconnected the micro switches, and removed the wiring plug from the dash switch. Simple as that.
