Went to check my car today and it starts. Road test will be carried out the next coming days. They will install hopefully the following:

Sideskirt seals for left and right.
Carnewal Europe sport pedals
Porsche Classic Radio.

Fix the dent/ding on the right door and full exterior detail.

They think they can get it done next weekend.

Carnewal Europe sport pedals
C'mon... are you serious ?! Agree : that's your car and your money but may I suggest to think twice prior doing this (even if it is easy to put back to original).

What will be the advantage / added value of such pedals with holes on your superb car ?!

I like the look not a fan of the rubber pedals.

Short shifter installed.

All is left is to fix the dent on the passenger door via paint less repair.

Install seals for the left side skirt and Porsche Classic Radio.

Got to drive the car today and it drives very nicely. I expect to pick it this time next week probably.

It's alive!!!!


They are finalising with the sideskirt seals today.

Tomorrow begins the new radio installation. Then they will just fix the door ding. The reason they are slow because the body shop is jam packed.





I also replaced the 20 year old porsche crest on this car for a new one, it looked Dull and old.

I discovered that the rear emblem is missing the DOT in between the 3 and the 6. Its the least of my worries.

In the later stage I want to fix that and probably order a new windshield and change the rubber seal in the sunroof.

The car currently has a Greddy boost gauge and it will be replaced with a VDO one to look in line with the oem gauges.

I am over the moon with this car super excited and currently waiting for my new tail light set.

Hard part of waiting is nearly done, a week or two more wont hurt.
