Great looking car and in answer to the original query it's a pain in the *** as you have to cut a bit of gutter off, weld it, cut a bit more, etc and then grind and fill and make good. I had a friend that deseamed his mini years ago and this is what he had to do. It did look good afterwards but it took a hell of a lot of work. A car customiser would be the best person to approach as thye like all this sort of stuff.

Cheers,

David

I feel that the gutters are the worst part of our cars' design, visually speaking. That RUF looks just amazing without them. Thanks for posting. What a beauty!

Mike,
You can always put the gutter on the inside . Joking aside, I cannot agree with you more Graham.

i like the gutters. i think they suit the 993 (sort of a throw-back, classic look)
