Default New to the 964 game

Hi Rennlisters,

I'm a 964 newbie, slate grey 90 C2 manual.. I'm an aircooled VW guy at heart and have finally taken the plunge into the Porsche world.. So far a happy man after a Route 1 trip from Sausalito to Luft..

I hope to be able to share the next stage of the cars journey when she arrives here in Dubai.... This site has a wealth of info which is going to be invaluable to me!

Cheers,

Tom

Love the slate grey with the bronze cup 1’s! Looks like you're already off to a good start with the right upgrades - lights, brake ducts, rear wiper delete. Have a great time!

Beautiful car! I wouldn’t have thought that the bronze paint on the Cup wheels would work so well, but it does. Have you considered adding bronze “Carrera” stickers?

This bronze Carrera emblem for the rear decklid would also be a good addition:

The wheel colour was a leap of faith but it's worked out. Good to get a thumbs up, the only decal i want is on the ducktail. "Carrera 3.6" just need to find one! any ideas?

Try Carbone. They can custom make pretty much any decal you can imagine!
