I know this is controversial but, whilst it isn't my thing on a 997 I do admire the bravery and he has a style. I do wonder how long it will stay together with the grub screws, mastic and glue. But they seem to hold up better than expected.
Not a Singer build but not pretending to be. I do think he's cool, but coolest in his little garage doing things to the then unloved and poor condition SC's.

Bloke's an artisan and a genius.
A genius because anyone that can get a 997 (or an aircooled 911) owner to part with over £20k (and that was at least 5 years ago) in exchange for four wheel arch extensions made out of glassfibre, a pair of bumpers of questionable aesthetic quality made from the same material, a couple of dive planes, a pair of sill extensions, some Ricer wheels and a rear spoiler that pushes the boundaries of good taste AND also ruins their car's corrosion integrity by hacking the wings and quarter panels off it and attaching his glassfibre items with screws and windscreen bonding adhesive (smoothed with his fingers) is just that. A genius.

Lol. I know of a porsche specalist who retroed everything back to stock on one of these. Total waste of time and money and usually destruction of a classic.
Almost as bad as taking a 60 k classic 911, stripping it and getting some beardy Welsh midget farmer to put a crashed tesla model 3 in it for twice thd price of a new tesla 3.
If you know, you know....

its nice to see, seen also some 964 were they made many of RWB, so impressive, but would not buy one and I like wide body cars.
I rather buy a 930/964 Turbo bodied car, thats wide enough and the wide I like best.
those can also be a great base for a RSR or RS or ST model-ish car, then original Turbo boy/car so brakes are oke mostly and say as a faster spooling modern turbo on it, or replace the turbo for a supercharger kit, the engine is already made for some boost.
