997 Turbo upgrade to 9e 28 by Nine Excellence (pic heavy)

[IMI A]

Full OEM GT2 aero ordered from OPC via 9e at fantastic discount. Many thanks to 9e for making it happen. They’re also liaising with OPC Reading to give her a proper glass out respray so all the paint matches perfectly with new GT2 aero etc.

Exciting times, glad to see you giving the old girl some love

Impressed you got a discount

Hope you are not tempted to put a GT2 badge on it

[IMI A]

No chance!

I delete the badge at the factory TBH.

Thought same myself and tempted to try and win it. Looks stunning.

Oak green would go well with those gold alloys and is a great colour

[IMI A]

Oak met green is porn. I may leave her black as long as they promise a piano show car finish. I’ll then ruin her again

Few more pics trickling in from 9e as they set new ride height 😉







Vs old ride height

[200Plus Club]

Sits very well.

[IMI A]

Thanks Chris. Sadly i don't think I'll ever be able to drive her as an "invisible" 911 turbo again. I'm sure you agree the stance with this bodykit even sexier. My poor credit card

[200Plus Club]

A little less stealth for sure!

[IMI A]

Hmmm black is very stealth even with the GT2 body kit. Then back to signal green. Then mint green. Then Oak. Then Gulf. And finally round circle back to black. You actually need permission from Porsche AG for Reading's restoration team to colour change. True

That looks very special !

Have you gone up? It’s not immediately obvious to me from those pics.

I agree I have asked Ken to send me more pics tom on ride height as three nasty speed bumps on my outside road that I negotiate most days. 9e are known for a bit more negative camber and lower ride height which fine for track but does not suit ordinary fast road and you get the the inner front tyre wearing bit too quickly. Will have a look at the pics tomorrow and maybe have a quiet word but certainly can't fault for enthusiasm! Does look really good in black too I agree guys love black. Just a pain to keep clean as this is how it will still be used. I'll speak to OPC Reading and see what they say re colour change and if they'd also perhaps do it. RPM are the only guys so far quoted with back to bare shell colour change at £50k plus VAT under their CSR programme. Thats a full strip everything to bare metal and shell then put humpty back together again. I'd have left her like she is if the current paint job wasn't so average in certain parts. Alls well that ends well always had a fetish for this.

[IMI A]

Also just looked at RPM quote at £50k plus VAT with colour change. It also includes purchasing and fitting (doh!) the GT2 parts which are £30k just parts in their quote Yes they sub out to another paint shop but the GT2 parts need a far bit of mucking around if you want to fit the GT2 parts like factory.

[Adam.]

That sounds slightly less shocking! £30k for the GT2 kit though? Oof

Didn’t you have a respray before? What’s the issue with it currently?
