Very nice - congrats

[fmcnasty]

Looks fantastic

Can I be bold and ask, is this a Gen1 997 fitted with the Gen2 light & wheel upgrades? Reason I ask is that the steering wheel seems to be from an earlier 997...

I have been keeping a keen eye on 997 Prices and would consider these mods myself if I do purchase one.

Looks lovely - Looks like a Gen 1 with LED front lights and Gen 2 wheels.

V nice, always a fan of black cabs, check out the pcm, defo Gen 1 the light and wheel mods do work, v subtle.

Silver centre console gives a nice contrast and really lifts the interior.

Hi, it's a gen 1 with LED front & rear lights & gen 2 wheels. I'm getting a dateless plate for it too, all the upgrades cost under £2k which is well under the £7k it would have cost to change the bumpers too. I think it's subtle & not in your face, just a gentle bit of botox really!!

Congrats, love the 997 gen 1.

Looks great.

Lovely car, might just be me but these really look good on 19" wheels.

the best looking 911 (apart from a 996 GT3RS) has always been the cab - no question!

Nice.

What are those rear lights please? They look like Gen2, but are same shape as Gen1. So it looks a bit more updated but without being fussy. Great mods - not seen those rear lights before though. Anyone?

[jakesmith]

Hi, the lights are from:
http://www.orange-tuning.de/shop/type-lighting-c-3...
Cost me £400 delivered & took a week to come. I am very sensitive about modifications - I only really like OEM look, but these really work I think, there are also some available from Design 911 but they are not such a good copy of the gen 2 look. Best thing about these are they require no bumper modification so give you 98% of the gen 2 look but for 15% of the price

Dectane also produce update lights...

Hi, they are the Dectane sourced lights on the rear, and the fronts are from Design911. I did notify my insurer (Liverpool Victoria) and it didn't make a difference to my policy, thanks for asking.

No worries, I wasn't being funny, just didn't want you to possibly end up uninsured in case you hadn't thought of notifying them.. Car looks great, congrats

Hi mate, no worrie I was being tongue in cheek should have followed it wup with a or something!! I was relieved that it didn't increase the quote, there were options for nitrous injection on there & similar!!

I have just sold the car & am about to sell the facelift lights on eBay but if anyone here wants them let me know There are some truely awful ones available but these ones are pretty close to gen 2 look. No wiring or other changes needed just plug n play. Set cost nearly £1k new 4 years ago.
