Default Help to identify sticker

Hello everyone!

Newbie here in the forum and lucky owner of a 993 C2 since last week.

I bought the car here in Spain although it was imported from Germany in 2005. Great looks and performance so far, but will go through service at Porsche in a few days to check everything is correct and fix some minor issues.




Going to the point, there’s a sticker in the rear with some sort of signature that I cannot identify and would like to ask your help to find out if it’s a nice touch to leave it there.




Thanks a lot for your help!

No idea as to the sticker. Curious about it now, though! Just wanted to share my congratulations & wish you many safe & happy miles with your C2.

Nice car and good story. No idea and his/her handwriting doesn’t help matters at all.

I would leave and tell everyone it’s Sabine Schmitz from Top Gear.

An original selling dealer ID? I would toss it. Use care, not to damage the window defroster wire it is mounted over.

YEEESSSS!!!! You’re absolutely right!

Now I’m definitely leaving it there as a double hommage to The Man and to the epic fail of some of the previous owner. This way I’ll have another story to tell about how this great forum helped me find out the (upside down) truth

Thanks a lot jrmdir!!

We just had an entire thread about factory stickers with photographs of each sticker, including a sticker identifying the type of oil by build date.
None of us displayed the sticker which is the subject of this thread.
Do any other members have this specific sticker??

Thanks for the comments but I have to give some credit those search engine designers. Not to take any significance from all of this, but I'm not sure this is any kind of Porsche decal. Maybe so, maybe not, but if you look at the seller's website from the eBay listing they seem to have made a business of replicating famous car people's signatures into decals: https://www.ebay.com/str/KJC-Graphic...cat=3173626018

Oh, and by the way Styrizo, welcome to the Polar Silver Club - that is one beautiful car. Enjoy!

Ron

This is the sticker on my yellow 993. The only comment I ever got was from my mechanic, he got it!

I bet that’s a nice Xenomorphus 993
