If I was wealthy I would have pieces like that displayed as art. That is just beautiful.

Cool. I'm going in February on my way back from North Africa. February is not the best time to visit Germany (!) but that's how it worked out.

nice to see someone else chose the chrome ring *****, since I put aluminum trim rings by someone whose name I forgot here that had a killer group buy, I figured the chrome radio rings worked...

Finally finished my recent list:
Golden Rod, shifter bushings,
distributor - caps, rotors and new belt
all fan belts and updated pulley
bleed brakes and clutch
underbelly metal pans -cleaned, sand, prime & paint
general undercarriage cleanup and rubber care under the car

I guess it’s time for the winter wheels and drive it.

I think the idea is you match them to your heater *****, which are right next to them. So for 993's it's no chrome trim. The chrome trim is for OLD 911's. Having trim on your dials is neither here nor there. But of course each to their own.

Drove it yesterday before Avery - the first snow storm of the season, and my Ocean Blue is no longer a teenage.
