- replace tail lights, head lights (upgraded) and rear centre reflector
- replace all body, window & door rubbers. There is a kit available from sierra madre in the states (but remember it is a 964 kit so if you change to 993 mirrors you will need to buy 993 mirror rubbers separately)
- rolled guards
- front splitter i.e. cult werks
- decals (?)
- ducktail (?)

more daring - rain gutter and sunroof delete
I like this list with the exception of the 993 door handles. Sunroof delete

here's a question.... I have 7 mm spacers on the back . I liked how it gave the car a more muscular look. My guy said that's the most he could do without having to get longer bolts.if I rolled the guards and got longer bolts can I bump it out more? Would that look good? Or where to start looking like a one of those beach cars from the 90s?

I don't want to lower it.

The whole tail light assembly. It would be a shame to put the old cracked and faded ones back in a freshly painted car. Finishing touches like this really define a car.

Under 200 quid each plus the centre reflector.

Just a tad, say to RS height

- side indicator and washer nozzle delete - Agreed on washer nozzle delete but keep side indicators, I think they break up the color nicely.
- rear wiper delete - Agreed
- replace tail lights, head lights (upgraded) and rear centre reflector. Agreed if old ones are not up to par
- replace all body, window & door rubbers. Agreed
- rolled guards. ?
- front splitter i.e. cult weeks. Debatable.
- decals (?). No
- ducktail (?). Yes

more daring - rain gutter and sunroof delete. Yes and yes
See my $0.02 in red above and inspiration below.

Correct. The only man who can get his job back after paying a $100M "bribe" to avoid jail for a $45M bribery case. If you guys think it's me, I need to change my sig though.
