Default Hello from a newbie! Updated with pics

After lurking on here for a few months, I thought I'd better bite the bullet and say hello!

I am in the UK, and since October 06 have been the proud owner of a 1995 993 C2 - flat black with marble grey leather. No real mods other than running 18" turbo rims that the previous owner stuck on it, although I have put a set of big ovals on, HIDs, and spent a fair bit on a full machine polish/detail that restored the paint back to its former glory.

I have tried to post some pics, but am hitting a brick wall as my post count is not high enough - if anyone can inform me as the required number that would be great!

Look forward to chatting with you guys some more in the future.

Regards ...

Cheers for the comments guys - hopefully after this post I should be able to post some photos!

Gordo - I've got quite a few photos of the before and after polish, and I'll put some up later - looks like the PO was a carwash queen, to the extent that every panel was really badly swirled. The machine polish did not remove them all 100%, but the overall transformation is superb IMO, and made me feel much more happy to be the owner!

Welcome and nice looking car with a good start on the mods. The lowering will come later and then she will really look BAD.
