How long should Catalytic converters last on a Carrera 997.1… years or miles ,whatever?

I don’t know whether to buy some now in advance.

The one in my car was replaced @ 180k miles age 10 years, IIRC.

Six hundred thousand of your finest British pounds for the blue 4.0 I am lead to believe.

...or 3 copies of the grey one plus some change

£600k in that colour a decent buy

But you can’t drive it’s a really solid investment

[Mariosbt]

Is mixing different engine oil brands ok?

I've left colour etc to 9e/Ken. Told them to surprise me. Its dependent on OPC Reading as they are a bit awkward about colour change. I'm happy with any colour as long as its a concours type finish

I just love that grey black car.

Mr Fl00per also has a lovely 997.2 GT3RS, light gold coloured wheels just like RO10 HBY.

I think without the decals that would look very dull. The decals set off the car. Launch colour too
