That's a beauty mate, I've had a couple over the years, and they're
great cars.

But be warned, your licence is now at risk wink

Congts, looks clean - maybe get some spacers for those wheels.

Yeah, thought about that, is it 5mm all round?

You need to check first because iirc turbo s came with spacers already i think.

5mm all around is okay, but personally I would go larger on the back to the front, so mayb 7/15 (front/back) or even 5/15 or 5/11.

Maybe someone might have some photos already?

Seal Grey, excellent choice.

What are the wheels off? As said, probably need a little enhancement to fill the arches more.

Not a fan of the Turbo look (sorry) but those wheels are definitely a great choice, as is Seal Grey (slightly biased!).

The car was factory ordered with GT3 wheels, I really like them lick , but agree they could do with a 5-10mm spacer to push them out a little into the arches. Still not sure whether they would look better in GT Silver as per the standard Turbo S wheel, whether to body colour them with a silver lip or leave them as is... spin

looks great Podro, like the wheels too. I've got the standard GTsilver turbos on mine but these are a nice change, like you say a factory fitted option when new

Likewise. As a former 996 tt owner I hated and still hate the standard alloys, they just look ancient. Those completely modernise the whole look of the car. Very nice indeed.
