Thought I'd list all the mods on my T while I can still remember them. I bought the car from OPC Perth in 2018 when it had 150 miles:

Car as purchased - Manual, 18 way seats, sunroof, PCCB, Lift, Leather interior, Sport Design kit, T Yellow trim and belts, no RWS

OPC adds - Cruise, Yellow SC clock, coloured wheel centres, Alcantara Visors

External - Carbon splitter, indicator sides, middle blank plate, exhaust surrounds, wiper cowl & mirrors by DB Carbon, Zunsport grills

Internal - Leather pieces with yellow stitch to replace all black plastic parts + Alcantara belt outlets by Exclusive Option (US)

Suspension/tyres - KW HA lowering springs set to GT3 ride height, KW spacers with Acer Racing Ti bolts, DSC V3 controller, MPS4S tyres

Engine/Drivetrain - 9e tune 660PS (9e hybrid turbos), full Inconel Kline (200 cell cats), Tial Sport intake pipes, plenum, hoses, 3D printed I/Cs

Detailing and PPF/decals by Nathan and Jules

Full rust proofing by Protect Services (Bucks)

Looks so right lowered and without the wing

Nice indeed.
My own car is developing into a bit of a keeper.

How do you find the Zunsport grilles, I fancy getting some but have heard people say the foul against the vanes?

They fit perfectly on my 991.2 T which has the Sport Design front end (same as the 991.2 GTS) Can't speak for anything else.

Class. But I'm surprised that no opiniated sage has been along to castigate you for having the 'wrong' spec. 18-ways - too much weight (should be buckets); sunroof - too much weight AND in the wrong place; PCCBs - unnecessary. Maybe the engine mods have helped. Still, there's time.

Here's mine AND with RWS (unnecessary). Meets my needs rather well though.

Regret selling my yellow T - if anyone knows of a yellow one (must be this colour!) for sale without RWS please let me know. Thanks.

Thank you! I always find myself looking back at it when I walk away after parking. :-)

It was a Miami T that got me into mine. I had a newish Boxster GTS which had battery problems and OPC Silverstone lent me their Miami T demo while mine was in. Had it for a few days while they did a drain test and that was it. I traded in the Boxster for my T a week later.

I didn't spec my car so it is what it is but its a great fit for my needs. The 18 ways mean I can use it with the wife for longer journeys and road trips, she wouldn't entertain the buckets, I've tried before with various GT3's and a GT2RS.

The sunroof makes it a really pleasant place to spend time, worth it for a car that sees plenty of miles. And the PCCB's might be unnecessary when you're running 370PS but are worth their stopping power and unsprung weight saving in gold with 992 turbo S power.

I could take or leave the RWS. The purist in me says its just another nanny that interferes with how the car responds just when you're expecting it to behave normally but I can see the benefits. I'd probably take it on a PDK car but not on a manual.

I keep toying with selling mine. Yellow, T interior, standard seats, no rear seats, no sunroof, a few leather bits, other stuff I forget at the minute, PPF, 10k miles. Will be top money if I let to go though

I didn't spec mine either. But I wanted a 991.2 manual, preferably with a sunroof (I'd decided against a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 on too much wind in my absent hair), so not a lot of choice out there.

Speccing from new I wouldn't have had RWS - purist in me (like you, and an 'unnecessary complication) - but actually I'm glad I have it: makes the car feel nicely alive/agile.

What do you think is top money? £80k? The yellow T in manual are very rare, only 33 in the
UK.

No - never found a need for it. I regularly have to go over a dozen or so speedhumps, our drive is on a slope and the '911 safe' multi-storey I use in Manchester never grounds the car out
