just realised what you mean....

I think its the shadow line in the glass. Its a lightweight rear window and the curve is slightly different/flatter.

Very nice.

I think I saw it on route somewhere a few weeks back on the M25.

Fantastic. Congratulations. Stunner.....really!!! Did you spend time deciding on the Momo wheel, or was it always your choice. I'm trying to decide between this wheel at 350MM and the 993RS wheel at 360 MM. Any advice?

Thank you!

Yes this was always my choice for the Cup car look. I was worried about seating position as this wheel is dished but it has worked out perfectly.

350 and 360mm is very close. The only problem with the wheel that I have is that after a year or so it will look worn.

I decided against the lower Rennline lower dash, was going to ebay it. If you want it I will sort you a good price.
Please let me know more about the Rennline lower dash. Is it for sale?

Thanks

I'd watch out for some of those wheel dimensions. I found a few inconsistencies for the same wheel on different websites.

I went for the 320mm 997 RSR wheel. It was a big jump going from the stock wheel to 320mm but after a month or two, it feels great and definitely not too small.

BTW ... dont go for suede .. mine is starting to get greasy after a few months! ... luckily the OMP Superturismo is also available in leather although I just wish I'd bought the leather not suede.

Fantastic job and a great looking car.

What top mounts did you go for in the end ?

The lower dash is a nice item and well made, however I went for the OEM look in the end.

Im sorry I have sold it to someone local.

Do us UK customers have to import from Rennline, or is there a local agent ?

I am looking at the top mount options for my car also.

How does it ride on those monoballs as opposed to a firmer rubber top mount ?
