Wow! What a beauty... I love the red on the rim (or wheel?) anyway... very,very nice touch..
What about changing those front parking lights for clear colour? And/or a black carrera decal along the door, you know the old style carrera decal.. My humble opinion... Don't mean to criticise your beautiful car..

Wheels look cracking....just what I'm about to have done with mine. Thanks for making my mind up. What finish of black is it?

Personally, I think the orange indicators look better than the white on Guards Red but the white still look good.

Agree with Oracle, some o/s carrera script a la same as mine would look great.

Ive already thought about the stickers.....still not totally sold! I might give it a go though as the costs cant be too much.

Any one have links of where I might be able to get ahold of some??

Phil

I got mine from Olliew who sometimes posts on here and they came at a great price.

Not sure whether he could ship to Dubai tho', may be worth dropping him a mail at ollie(at)fireboxcreate.com.....replacing (at) with @.

I like the clear lights also, look good against your red & black contrast.

Suggest you get brake ducts for DXB track days or welcome to foot on the floorboards team!!

I would not have thought black wheels would do much for a Porsche, but on a Guards Red 964, looks bad a**s.

Thanks for the comments.....They are painted gloss black! I did think about satin but i remembered how much of a pain it was to keep clean.
