Polar Silver is the original color and it is original paint. I don’t know why the engine bay doesn’t match. I’ll be asking the question when it’s in next week for service. If anyone knows I’d be interested in understanding.

It's in front of the passenger wheel. Pull the wheel off, remove the liner and it's right there.

Picked up my varioram intake parts I dropped off at the powdercoater on Monday. Cleaned up all the taped edges, removed the powder coating from the "varioram" lettering and thoroughly washed everything (twice) to ensure no abrasive residue ends up in the cylinders.

Ready for rebuild tomorrow.

looks great congrats! Doing the same on my ocean blue 993 in the next two weeks . Is it a new Euro bumper or a US one with patched bumperette openings? Where did you source your fog ducts?

Thanks mardusj! Body shop patched the bumperette holes. Turbo Air Scoops and Clear Turn Signals are from Gert:

Must admit , despite the added weight, it is very satisfying finally fitting the big ovals after 8 years of ownership
