Default do you like ... stripes? white 993

hello from Poland
maybe some of you remember my silver 993 - really begining of production - October 1993
could be seen in Adrians book - in the winter condition or .. in front of Palace of Culture - Warsaw. Ex communism monumet in Warsaw's center. Hope that my car is still running in Belgian. It was high milage car - 240 000 km at the "end". Without major problem (btw. looks like lower oil consumption than current)

Currently... 96 from your side of ocean. White 96 C4, 90 K miles on the clock and... with... stripes
This is not copy of Martini car but... looks fine for me
as you see more trackday car.
Currently just metal inside and 2 gt3 seats
no Ac
some brake ducts
1340 kg with full fuel tank

still long list in front of me.. Pss10.. to delete front drive (looks like broken visco clutch), to shorten gearbox and many many more...

I will update you with progress

The overhead angle of the 993 is perhaps its best, lovely car you have there.

Looks great (but then I might be a bit biased)

I'll be the naysayer, the black stripes within the blue field may be too much, or change them to white. Breaks it up too much I think. I think it would look better without them. Love the retro coloring though!

Maybe someone can photoshop the different options.

If he's doing the Martini thing, the stripes are dark blue, not black. I think he's going for something like this:
