It's actually got a few small dings in it, eventually I'll have the bodywork done and get it repainted.

Here's the worst dent:



The thing is, when I actually do have the bodywork done, I'd like to paint the car a completely different color, maybe a dark metallic blue or dark metallic red. That's gonna be a whole lot of work, so a whole lot of money, which means it's quite a while down the road.

an ///m on a 944? If you put that on an otherwise stock 3 series, it picks up thirty horse, on the 944 .. it's gotta pick up at least sixty.

It's ok, just photoshop. Had it been real stickers, the flames would have been hot!

Is that linen metallic (LM1U)? If yes, then why would you change it? That's such a nice color and so rare. Unlike Kalahari, notice there's not a hint of yellow in this finish. Personally, I would repaint in the original color. You'd be surprised how stunning it looks with a fresh clearcoat...

Don't do it!! Your color is soooo nice & you'll never strip it down enough to do a great job (engine bay, door closures etc etc...)
