Bet it had the side logos before it cartwheeled through the gravel trap. I shouldn't imagine they are easy for a body shop to recreate.

They are very easy to recreate, they are vinyl and cost about £150 from your friendly OPC.

Prefer decals, but that is quite cool - wonder what it'd look like with black/graphite wheels? Menacing I suspect.

Some of the RS's have got Black wheels (Sean D). I think that with black decals as well it would look top notch. I was threatening to do this with mine before I sold it

Not sure it looks right without any decals.

I reckon it would look pretty good with some graphite wheels.

Decals are not expensive to replace, so if you changed wheels.. you could create a toatlly different look, then switch back when bored/ or to sell.

Probably a bit like the 997 Cup. They look pretty good with logos on, but a bit tricky for a road car as sponsorship logos makes you look a complete cock jockey.

We know that you always like to bin bits of your cars rob,so are you moving towards plain white now?,I'm quite sure thats why your floating this ugly duckling here today.
IMHO,before you try it,leave it well,alone your car looks gorgeous.

Quite like that - buy another set of GT3 wheels, paint them black and you have something a little more subtle than the normal RS, which while looking great to us petrolheads, to your average person, probably looks like you've added the stickers yourself.

Keep the blue wheels and buy a set of stickers if want to change back/sell. Not sure it's better but at least another option.

Any pics of Sean's car?

lol

Cheers, I like my car a lot, will only part with it upon pain of death.!

Am not gonna play with or mod my car at all, it's perfect out of the box.

I like the road setup, and would have to be a driver of Senna-esque proportions to fault it on track.!

Good move imho,cars like these that are really what porsches should be about and they are a dying breed,given enough time i'm sure straight and standard examples will be sought after.

I'm still thinking about dropping on Manthey suspesion. Its meant to be pretty complient, but resolves the under sprung over damped setup thats OEM. I'd hope it would improve ride and stop me grounding the splitter on the road.

Still having a think about that though. I did buy this car thinking nothing would need doing. How naive!
