Default PGB Show at Raby Castle, Durham, UK (pic heavy!)

Alright folks,

Ive enjoyed everyone’s show reports lately, so thought i’d find time to post this one.

The Porsche Club GB had their North East Region annual show at Raby Castle in Durham this month. Here’s a few photos of the day...

Apologies for a lot of photos of a certain Guards Red 964

Looks lovely Chris.

Unusual to see a US spec erar bumper over here, your work or was it already on there when you bought it?

And did you have the front bumper RS'd? ie remove the headlight washers as well or is it an RS bumper?

Thanks Gary,

I wanted a shorter number plate, so went with the US rear. A few others in the UK had used this idea, so I pinched it! I swapped bumpers with a Rennlist memeber who wanted to go Euro!

The front bumper was modified by a bodyshop, who shortened the front plate recess to match the rear, removed the washer jets and colour-coded the front bumper undertray

Cars looking good Chris! Have you lowered the rear more?

Looks like a great day and a good turnout.

Cheers Norm

No car is that low all the time on the rear, still desperately need to lower the front more, but ran out of time for the show!

Im working on her again tonight but I think itll be interior.

Enjoy the states!

Great set of pics. Love the one with the castle/rainbow back drop. The car....

Oh and the one in front of the lake would be perfect if the sunroof was open with a fishing rod poking out of the top.

Just noticed that too John! It was raining just before the last couple of photos, so they must have stayed like that when I hopped out the car I'll check tonight to see if they need more adjustment...
