Just jumping back to the Service Teknik 96 booklet you mention earlier. I have 1 booklet which is a supplement to the service book. It is a thin booklet with the RS specs, operator guide, various transmission options and plot of the hp/torque curves in the back (in German). Can you confirm if this is the same as you have? I am presuming you have the english version
If it is different i will order it.

Piers, may I ask what the price was for the above item?
As to the slats of the grill I think you should ask Andrew Frankel about the car and its history again.
Cheers.

My 993RS has the same code. I found the answer to that one only a week or two ago. It is, and I quote "Eurospec emissions"

On my stock non-RS front panels and after-market RS splitters, the grill/slats to which you are referring are part of the original mold, therefore, there is no separate grill/slats to attach. Unless OEM RS splitters are different, which I would doubt, it would appear as though someone cut your grill/slats out . . . would be easy to do as the plastic is relatively soft, especially when it's that thin. If this is the case with OEM RS splitters and you don't see/feel any burrs where they were removed, maybe it's possible there was a repaint of the splitters after the grill/slats were removed.

Ref. 'you should ask Andrew Frankel about the car and its history again' Ominous suggestion alert! Do you know something I don't?

Hey RS guys - mind if I ask a question?
Do any of you guys have your RS seats for sale at all (well if I never ask, I'll never find them) - PM me if you have, I'm interested (they're all black and classic grey, right?)

I don't know anything about your RS but surely Andrew Frankel will fill you in with more details. Perhaps the year of manufacture had different designs but I do not know. I had worried a lot about my RS since the sticker lay out between RHD and LHD is different but I think despite the car being tracked by an RS enthusiast it has been kept in remarkable shape. No ding, dents other than the usual stone chips. However, there was a post about zinc oxidation which I suspect I have beneath the leading edge of the bonnett. I have to say Porsche has rather poor quality paint finishing compared to my other mundane cars costing 4 times less and being 5 years older than the RS.

Paint
Thats a good point Harry. I too am concernd about the paintwork being very susecptable to chips, especially the bonnet. I had put it down to the latter being aluminium. Perhaps the adhesision is not so good or the paint is a little thin
IMO, you've only got to show the car a hand full of gravel and it starts chipping.

Phil,
I think looking at various posts, the paint that Porsche uses is rather crappy. Perhaps water-based paints are the culprit. Check this out:

I think we're at cross purposes? I'm talking about the 2 holes underneath the splitter 1 at either side of car in front of wheels.
