What a beaut. Please PM me the VIN and options, as I've been trying to put together a register for this model. Conversions are welcome also!

Mine is an original RHD Turbo Cabrio with 72000 miles on the clock. LSD, electric clubsport seats, CUP1 17" wheels, clear indicators, original hood and suspension.
Plans for the future includes new suspension, brake upgrade, possibly a MAF and also a 2,8 stroker upgrade with bigger injectors and turbo.

After slowly building this database of 944 Turbo Cabrios over the past 6 years, I'm at roughly 80 cars, but only 30 VIN numbers.

Any more out there, please post.

We call those blinker repeaters. They blink when the blinkers do.

To get my US spec S2 to pass local inspection when I imported it from the US, I rewired the front sidemarkers to work like Euro spec repeaters do.

If you like the feature, you can rewire your car's US sidemarkers to work that way.
