Default Loud 993's
Here is a couple of pics of new 993 (Mint Green) and the recently built 993 RS Replica in Orange. Both completed by Tognola Eng in Datchet.
The Green one is standard 95 C2 apart from spoilers and wheels its RHD 29k miles, as new!

Damn- those are both hot cars. My preference is for the orange, but the mint green looks pretty good too! Thanks for posting!

in my opinion i have never liked that style front spoiler ...it ruins the round front lines of the car

i know they are popular upgrades but they just don't flow with the body style

Wheels look too big on both cars - are they 19"s?

I prefer no spoilers on 911's, but, for track cars, they are a worthwhile improvement for air management. I was going to get a GT2 front spoiler but have decided on the RS splitters because e I believe the GT2 spoiler will provide too much downforce at high speeds in comparison to the modified, 3.8 RS spoiler/wing combo I am running. At high speeds, I'd rather have more understeer and less oversteer.

Dude, awesome cars ! Totally wicked cool. For real, the best pair I have seen to date. And that says a lot, as I live with a pair of 38's.
Is that colour really called mint green ? Sweet !
Would really like to see more pics.
Thanks for posting.
