Default Another new (Polor Silver) 993 owner smiles

Well, I am safely home with my new 993. But not without the help of a few Rennlisters that I did not know before last week. Jim Morton, Avery Diamond and Dan V all replied to a post I made last week asking for help in evaluating the cosmetic condition of a Polar Silver C4 that I found in San Jose. The car passed the PPI done at CT automotive (also recommended by Rennlist) but I wanted a second opinion on the paint, interior and wear. Jim was so quick to go check it out that by the time Dan V called Jim was already there! And that was just a few minutes! Thanks guys!

So here it is, 1996 C4, Silver Calipers, Turbo front bumper, S scoops with lights, clear front corner lights, RS (I think shifter and brake lever), sport seats, LSD...

Glad the previous owner already started the slippery slope, now I just need some Bilstien HD and Mo30's and a CDR 220

Cheer

Congratulations....I know how you feel!

Just a quick suggestion for those license plate holes on the front bumper....

http://bumperplugs.com/

They make them in Polar and they look great....you can also get them for the key hole on the doors. Just make sure you order two for each door as they do not come in pairs like the bumper. Welcome to the Polar Silver 993 Club.

Conrats, Christian...that is a beauty, for sure. You were fortunate to have Rennlisters to eyeball it for you...

Marble Gray with black dash, wheel and sport seat backs. I really like the way the gray and black contrast each other. Makes the sport seats stand out more.

Thanks Kelly, probably not quite as nice as yours but I could touch it
and drive it home. Thanks for sending the pictures of your car, it looks like a great 993.

Christian, Congradulations! That's about the best combination of colors there is.
I have the same seats except the rest of the interior is gray too.
Great car! Enjoy it! Chris

Sans front license plate is illegal in California but alot of us go without. Maybe they are a little more strict in Oregon?

Nice! You lucky dog! Sport seats! You have the exact same color combo int/ext as I do, let me know when you need to upgrade to race seats.
