That's a very nice car Paulo and the best colour IMO. Totally menacing although I am biased, very best regards, Graeme
p.s. Look at the curve of the wheel arch on the silver car against the black. There is definately something not correct, the thickness of the vertical part of the arch is not constant.

pmf, your car is beautiful. What kind of headlights/bulbs are you running? Seems brighter than stock.

Thanks, Carlos.
PIAA bulbs are brighter and provided good light during the long overnight drive we had to the circuit. In the 964 the headlight is deep enough so you do not notice the blue bulb when lights are off.

I can't see it. Can you maybe use MS paint with an arrow to point out what you mean?

I am not that expert with computers but look at this

the curve of the arch is not semi circular and thicker in the centre part of the wheel arch. Can you see it now ?.

I think it's just the way the top of the arch blends in with the body making it look thicker.

They all look that way. I think the silver and lowered stance makes it more noticeable. It is also rare that you see a direct side shot like that which really brings it out.

I think the scrutiny of that arch is getting a bit "****"?

Whether its repaired or not, it looks pretty good to me.

I noticed it looked thinner near the vent before. Now I see you are correct in that the middle looks thicker.

I did wonder if it was just the paint though.

930 rear flares were welded on to 911 rear wings when my car was built. I guess each car is unique in some way or another

I think I remember noticing it to not be perfectly curved on mine in a very similar fashion.

Carlos, please post pictures of your front trunk (with the carpet removed, of course). Thanks.
