Hi

My UK 86 S2 is lowered are far as possible.... there is precisely 2 inches clearance under the front.....

Daily driver but obviously I cannot go over "sleeping policemen"

I HAVE got both undertrays though (from Roger)...AND need them....lol

All the best Brett

take a look at the pictures. he said 2 months to take my car apart, paint it and reassemble
Any idea what he charges per month? Wish he was in Toronto, I haven't had any luck with body shops here... all they wanna do to cut and roll paint on taxi cabs and charge insurance companies 4K a pop...

or charge 20k for a paint job.

It is a bother. Trying to find someone who does good work and is priced reasonably. VERY hard to do.

If you charge so much that I can learn to do it myself, you are going to lose a customer.

'What do mean you need to make $200.00 an hour?'......

Wheels...original 17s and current 18s.



I like the 18s.

The car is fabulous with either the 17s or 18s. My comment was about the big wheels on cars out there.

Cars that need big 20" wheels to look good have lack luster designs.

The 928 design is so outstanding as most Porsche designs, that after all these years if in good condition, will still turn heads.

Goodness, you'll feel every pebble you drive over. I think showing a little tire is good. Get a 22 inch wheel and put a sheet of neoprene over it !

That's the only way to make Iris Blue, in a picture, look like what it looks in person.
