Default Oh yes, the 968 hatch is on!

And looking swish... mirrors next week once they are painted!

i put in a before shot for comparison. Its amazing how much it changes the ***. I thought I didnt like the rear lights, turns out they look much better with the 968 spoiler... The whole *** looks much wider and the lines cleaner. Damn I dislike the old one! Sorry Horsefarm!

Will be keeping it black... The colour coded does not do it for me. It makes such a huge difference, quite surprised actually. The mirrors will finish it off nicely...

Along with white wheels it would look kind of coherent if you painted it white.

Yeah people have suggested painting a AIR splitter white and maybe the spoiler would look good white too, but I am going to some wider wheels sooner than later, so I will hold off any changes till then. If you go too far on the exterior personalising, it can look jumbled even if they use similar colour schemes, its a less is more car.. in part

So, was it a 968 hatch or a late 944 hatch? It did make it to the 951 in 1990 and the 944S2 in 1991.

That looks like the late S2/Turbo hatch to me. Just like mine. Looks good Andrew. That price is not all that unreasonable when you consider the rarity
