Thank you! It's a color called Verde Chiaro off the 2010 Fiat 500c. I love the color so much... But can't have more than one color at once!

Were you at Vagkraft by any chance? I had the red 964 there!

Yeah that was definitely me there! I gave your car a good look over, very cool. What kinda coils are you on?

Great, great color, I was inches away from buying an Amethyst 968-great period color for Porsches. Congrats!

I am running the AH exclusive H&R's from Rotiform, they are awesome. You will be very happy with them.

Hi,

Welcome

Love the colour.

There was one similar in a mag a few months ago (either Total 911 or 911 & Porsche World) it had very good reviews.

Cheers,
Paul

What's the difference between 964 and 993 hood?

I love that color!
Looks like it's a natural progression to move over to Porsche after the VW scene. I bet you'll enjoy this one. The build quality alone on a 964 is far superior to any car of the same age.
Good luck, I'll follow this thread for sure.

964 hood consists of front and rear part looks like a waggon, and is much more noisy(993 upper part is in one piece)

amethyst 964

Yet in the article it clearly says "The family have forbidden me to sell the porsche" I suppose they will say any thing to make it more personal to get the readers in and sell mags, cheers
