It is black.
I don't know if it is an actual euro car but I know he has a euro front bumper cover and no rear side markers. His car is the inspiration for what I want mine to look like(except mine will be white).

I bought a euro front bumper cover and this type of spoiler and had them shipped from the UK. They are waiting on prep and paint(along with the rest of the car).

nice look to shoot for. It really looks like midnight blue ( or something like that it is called) in back.

It belongs to culture. I'm sure he can tell you all about it.

yes, as AZ stated, its black. forgot the ppg# but the painter called it super jet black. its not an actual euro car but i did import the front and rear bumpers from overseas and i shaved the rear side markers. i also have euro fogs and added the side markers.

the rear spoiler is actually part of the tech art programme for the 968. i've heard it can still be ordered from some dealers, but you can get a "replica" of it from porscheshop.uk

i took a good look at the pic and i think the blueish tint is a reflection of the sky.

Went to visit her at my mothers condo where she is stored for the winter. Took off the rear wheels because there is one of them that has a ding in it that needs to be repaired. Couldn't resist and started it. It fired right up

will drop off the wheels at a wheel repair shop this week. If the freezing cold ever breaks I should be able to get it out in the next few weeks. Usually I am driving it first week in April. Fingers crossed.

So I was reading on another post that unlocking/locking from the driver's side door is suppose to unlock/lock the passenger's door? Is that correct?

How about the switch under the stereo, what does that do?

Both my cabs have never unlocked/locked the passenger's door...

Does your power lock work on the passenger side at all? When I got mine both of the plastic clips were broken and had to be changed for the power locks to work.

I had a lot of fun fixing the drivers side in my car after painting it.I found a wiring diagram on an old site that is not used munch any more
I helped me trouble shoot the issue. The S2 system is the same.as the na. The switch in the center should lock or unlock the car. FYI my problem was the Microsoft check on the back of the lock switch was not seated corectly.if you car has never.worked I would pull the passenger door panel and look to see if the white wire is plugged in inside the door.there is another connection just in the footwell from the door. The alarm and lock system are connected electrically through a little control unit on the steering colum down by the pedals. Hope this helps run down the problem.

here is the url to the thread I did when dealing with it on my car. It does mention the diagram I mentioned but I did not put a link to it let Google be your friend and find it.

Thanks for the help and info guys. Mine has never worked and neither does the switch below the stereo. I'll take the door panels out in 2 weeks during spring break and see what's going on. I'll also make sure the back of the switch in the center is plugged in good.

Switched to Mobil 15w50, finally started up and drove the cab (been hibernating since November).
