Thanks for all the nice comments! 
Will look a bit different next year with 968 mirrors, hood vents, front brake ducts och new spacers. After that it's time for a serious front splitter and wing
Camber is set to -3.5 rear, -4 front. The brakes are the usual big reds with Lindsey rotor hats.
I didn't take any engine pics that day. I'll see if I can find a recent shot.
Har inte glömt dig Olli, väntar på svar!

Looks really nice.
Just out of curiosity, how do you polish a car to look that nice? I have just never been able to get the swirl marks outta my black 951. Paint is shiny, but in CO there is very intense sun and the swirl marks really show up.
I dont have buffer. Maybe that would help (i see you have a buffer). I have read though that buffers either 1) dont work because they are cheap consumer grade random orbit ones or 2) work really well for things like air compressor based buffers but can work so well as actaully take the paint off. I have been worried about getting too agressive but even using the paint cleaners and polish liek you have (by hand) the swirls are still there.
Any suggestions?

New paint
My car got a new professional paint 7 years ago. Have only driven about 15000 km's since and the car has always been garaged.
It looked like this before (EDIT: before the polish/wax job) so it already was in good shape, oh and this is how the engine looks like:
