Default TT is back! New Paint and a few other things

Well after 1.5 months in the shop she is back. The car was stripped to bare metal and repainted. 4 coats of color and 4 coats of clear. Sanded and buffed a few times etc.

Now the contest........can you point out the 6 distinct changes on the car?

The bumperettes on rear are painted, someone stole them off the front, and they stole your headlight washer nozzles and rear fender guards. And... the rocker panel is painted to match.

Tim... you are a maniac, but the car looks absolutely great. Congratulations on getting it just the way you want it... you and I have very similar taste.

Steve

Yes we do. I also just put in the black 996 sport seats and rear seats. All in black. Now there is a nice 2 tone in the car and the sport seats rock.

I have to wait a while to wax her real good. There are tiny scratches due to teh finishing work they did and wash. Not up to my glass smooth expectations

Tim, Tim, Tim..........you are truly a wonder! Well done with the car......it is truly a work of art! I love the two tone interior.......I have just bought some GT3 seats in carbon fibre/blk leather and my carpet and trim is grey so I am going to have that two tone thing happening as well........I have 4 seats spare if anyone is interested..........I had to buy 6! I am pretty sure you prefer my Midnight Blue exterior even though Steve keeps egging you on with the Arena Red thing........just kidding! I am really glad you have her back...........she is a thing of beauty and you should be proud. As painful as the wait was, it was worth it!
Best Regards
Grant

Grant, good deal man! Post up pictures when you can. It is raining today so I can't get good pictures of my interior yet. But I will
