Default Gear ****

I'm looking for a aluminum/alloy gear **** and handbrake lever with the Porsche badge in savannah beige for my C4S. Can't seem to find one for sale on the net. Any suggestions? Thanks

You mean Cashmere Beige and the true 4WD ones are NLA, you would need a 2WD one. Handbrake is ok still but you are looking at about $1200 for the pair

If its RHD then the true handbrake is only available in black and blue

Black looks great on the beige, I've always pulled out the tan shifter & e brake on non black interior & switched to black, I bought this shifter on ebay & it is top quality & weighted, you might find my feedback from a year ago on it.

Here is the total :



P93008 Alu / cashmere beige leather shifter : 410 euro

P93011 Alu /cashmere beige leather handbrake : 475 euro

Shipping to Australia is 45 euro

These are original Porsche parts.



We usually need 3-8 weeks to get the parts in stock.

Shipping usually takes 3 days.

Some have done it using the old boot from the 993 and zip ties.
