Looks nice, I particularly like the ride height.

How much do you think you have spent on the mods/bits over the last two years, if you don't mind me asking?

Some of the mods were done by the previous owner and some by myself, however I have bills for pretty much everything that had been done.

I think you could get a 993 to look the same as mine including body, wheels, suspension and exhausts for about £4-5000.

That doesn't include minor bits and pieces and service/repair/replace items.

Thanks.

Thanks for that.

I've recently acquired a (totally standard) 993 C2, I was going to keep it that way but you (and jackal!) have got me wondering...

Well, it's a personal thing isn't it? I do like standard 993's but for me, I had to have a more 'Carrera Cup' race look.

The looks and comments from other drivers and pedestrians are worth the money alone! It's generally very well received out on the street!

I'm sure you could take a 993 to a specialist Porsche modifier and get a bill for £10k trying to achieve a look like mine or an RS look for example, but locate the parts yourself and use reputable local garages and bodyshops and you can get a great looking car for a lot less.

And yes, Jackals car is superb!

I love it and I love the colour. Wheels spoil it a little for me though, but thats a personal thing. I'd probably have the classic turbo wheels on it.

Good job!

Oh, yes.

I so do regret the opportunity of not buying a LHD low mileage C4S 8 years ago.

Its magic.. the only think for me IMHO is that back light strip is starting to age now. Is there anything that can be done to update it a bit (not chavtasic obviously)? LED version, or a tighter reflective mesh?
