First world problem.

Zenith, how is this metal if it's clearly plastic with markings molded in?

I had a 993 C4 many moons ago, 2006 if I remember correctly.
I bought a set of 993 361 032 11 TPP for some reason, it’s been so long I can’t remember why.

I just came across two of them in my drawer, brand new in packaging and one used. Made in Germany. They’re heading for eBay shortly.

The red fades out and also lost from polishing. I found a toyota red touch up paint that matched perfectly and was easy enough to make look new with a steady hand and fine brush. I will try to find the paint code.
