Interior trim

[Sebba]

Hey guys - I looking at getting my hands on a 997 Turbo - am quite keen on the Gen 1, i) for the engine ii) that is where my budget puts me....

But I keen stumbling on the same point - maybe it is just me but the grey facial interior makes the car look quite dated - is there any way/where you can get this resprayed to black?

I read several threads on people who do it themselves but I fear with my limited skills, I may c0ck it all up and make it look amateur....

I agree with you, I think it is better without the Nav unit but unfortunately, most of the Turbo's have the nav unit.....

Yeah it is doable,

I swapped the older Nav out and got a new screen with all the trimmings, surround was still grey so i had that pained gloss black...in fact every piece that was in that duller grey colour i changed to either blue (exterior colour) or black (even steering whee)

which makes sense seeing as it was standard on the turbo, you would have to be a bit odd to ask them to remove an option which cost £2k on lesser 997s

I like the silver trim in my turbo, breaks up the black interior nicely

I get why some replace it with a more modern nav/ipod/BT unit, but when I was looking for a 997.1 turbo every car had the standard nav unit. All I am saying it was standard fit and there was no alternative so hardly surprising 99% of cars have it.

Even then people would put the standard PCM2.1 unit back in when they come to sell
