Your front discs are rusted to fvck. Next time you pay someone £500 to wash your car, ask them to be more careful.

I'd post a high resolution picture of my 60k mile seven year old 996, covered in leaves, stonechips, road grime and mud, but I was too busy driving the living daylights out of it and trying not to grin myself to death to take one today.....


hehe



PS Envy hurts. Badly.....

It looks great except for that horrible tax disc holder. Don't mean to come accross anal but everything look perfect then you see the great bif effing sticker on the windscreen! A nice little round one will be much better...

Please note the smiley.

Car looks great. I am just jealous, mate!!!!


Do be careful with the discs though, they corrode like hell, although clearly as you have a 997TT you don't have to watch the pennies like I do!!

Looks stunning. Although I'd like to think mine looked similar when I did it a few weeks back.
997 Turbo is lovely and those wheels cloud9

So was the car waxed with something like zymol/swissol/meguirs or has it been treated with a coating like permaguard/supaguard.

On a brand new/nearly new car which is the best route to go down?

It looks awesome fella, well done. There's another thread going on about 997TT colours and I didn't like black. Until I saw yours...

I doubt the car looked that good when it first came out of the showroom. Great job.

How does the 997TT compare with your GT2 ?
