Hey the steering wheel's on the wrong side! Just kidding.

Looks like a cool car complete with spoiler, splitters and wheels. I love the color combo, too. Enjoy it!

Congrats! Great color combo! My 964 had that same combo and I loved it! Targa wheels on a cab...haven't seen that before. Is that rear tag Carrera 4?

Very nice. Glad it all worked out in the end.

Two things to note:

1) You might want to install the boot when the top is down. The headliner and internal straps get beat up by the wind without it.
2) You might want to check your center bow in your top. There is a pair of straps that pull it down flat when the top is retracting. It appears in your 2-4 pictures that the center bow is stuck up, thus bulging the headliner up. Here are pictures of mine laying flat (when I first got it):

yes, i noticed this the other day. you can push it down easily enough. I will get round to looking at the straps in the next day or so.
what do you mean by "install the boot"? not sure what you mean by that term.

Thanks

Now the Carrera 4 scipt is backwards!

By boot he means the cover for the top when the top is down.

Beautiful car. What color blue is it?

Yes she is a C4......Targa Wheel? thats what my friend said...he was not sure also but i quite like them. I fancy some split-rim 18" cups speedlines but that can wait for a while as i'm moving house this coming week and seem to be paying out loads of cash at the moment for joiners, electricians, gardeners, windows, doors, kitchens....the list never ends!!!!

I used to have a matching blue tonnea cover on the 964 which would have been perfect for this 993 but that was stolen with the car also!!!

Iris Blue....and i love it.....In the sun it seems to have a hint of purple and reflects like a mirror....when it's clean!!!!! can't wait for the zymol treatment.

Iris Blue is an awesome color. One of my favorite.

Yes, Chris, the tonneau cover and boot are one in the same. Here is a shot with it on:
