The 997 Appreciation Thread

How did they get to look like that? Mine are 16 years old and still look brand new.

No idea, I’ve only had the car just over a week.

Does anyone know if this price of trim is available on its own, the little bit underneath the handbrake? Mines got a deep scratch, and I’d like to replace it if it’s not stupid money.

I think it is the best looking 997 ever, more so than the sport classic.

The exterior stripes look like they might be Rubystone?

The 70s custom van interior, the exterior carbon, the stripes, the main grey colour, the dark-painted wheels - I dislike all of it and I would be embarrassed to drive it.

Same here, and mine are in pretty good condition. Annoyingly the only time they get used is when I take it to be serviced. Suppose I should be happy as it means they've tested / run the climate control perhaps?

Re the car above:

1. Good work for changing the levers
2. I think they get ruined by people that don't quite get "climate control" and continually set the system themselves.... this is like 90% of car users I think!

That’s lovely, such a shame they didn’t offer a wider selection of bright colours for the regular models.

Nice to see one being driven properly at the ring last week.
