Beautiful car. Congrats. Definitely have it lowered a little, and maybe Fisters for a little more sound. No need for big oval tips.......if they had come from the factory with ovals everyone would be paying big dollars for the rectangular ones.

i just think that the wide ovals follow the round openings better. Versus putting a rectangle inside a circle, so to speak...

Great car, great colour, I suggest euro suspension to get your ride height correct and perhaps get those alloys in gloss black???

Wowee! I've never seen a C2S in Riviera before. For many here, that's a "Holy Grail" car, and the crazy low miles are icing on the cake. Hopefully you don't plan to daily drive it.

I wonder just how many more of these sub-15K cars are stashed away out there?

Mm. This is probably the first thing I would do, Cashmere hardbacks painted Riviera Blue. IMHO, the Cashmere interior against RB is a perfect combo and makes the car even more distinctive, bringing a bit of that into the interior would be my first move. Of course, you would want to keep the stock seats, carefully stored ... goes without saying. Outside, I'd go with clear corners and maybe a silver badge and matching crested wheel caps from that shop in the U.K. that another RL'r posted here recently. I would agree with the majority here, the car speaks for itself, no need for wings or Turbo "wannabe" tack-ons. That's not what this car is .. it's in it's own league

At anyrate, beautiful, original and rare car! Again, Congratulations, and considering you only started looking in early June to "hold you over" till your Riviera Blue 997.2 RS is ready in August ... I'd say this qualifies as the RL "Impulse Buy of the Year" Of course, it's only June .... and summers comin' ;-)

Only Mods that needs to be done is suspension and wheels. This is a very special car with very low miles. Any alteration from its originaliy will devalue this car.

Now if you really like the Sport Seats or Body kits, go for it, its your car

Congrats on a beautiful car. A great catch of a seldom seen combination of colour and model.
Look at the originality of it. Don't change too much. The purists will love it's uniqueness.
