"What do you love about the 996?"

It's ability to dutifully deal with the mundane whilst at the same time offering a sense of occasion i.e. modern enough to be every day practical whilst at the same time being raw enough to feel very special.

I see FGP are offering their red TT for auction on ebay and it is the LAST CHANCE. Starting price is 29000.

It's not awful. The front bumper is a bit busy.

I like the colour, the decal, the wheels, the ducktail, but the front really is a bit busy..
The big radiator openings and even the front spoiler I quite like, but the GT3-esque front louvres and the fake intake to the wheels I don't.

Well, the front spoiler maybe a bit too much, but I really like the big radiator openings. Gives the front a much more contemporary look!

That colour looks ace with red inside.

Agree on bumper but I wouldn't say no.

Like the colour & the ducktail, will pass on the rest though thanks.

What I love about the 996, especially the Gt cars, is that the front end is so clean & elegant in comparison to later cars.

I'd prefer a standard front bumper, but I like the rest of it. Great colour combo too!
