Toby, looks schweet.

I have a question for you: You have a wide body car (I assume), and the GT2 fender flares. Do you have a radically different offset on your wheels to fill out the flares? The GT2s were narrow bodies, hence my Anorak question. (I actually bought an anorak from Halfords when I worked there as a kid)

It's not easy to keep these wheels clean especially my gold center. Nice job TB.

Gorgeous car! It would look so nice with a front CTR2 bumper though Love the steering wheel.

Toby,

Your TT is SICK! (In a good way, ofcourse). Thanks for making us very envious :-))

Car looks sick by the way !!!

Bit of a story to this
I saw a refurbished set of 5 spoke 993GT2 magnesium road wheels at a wheel shop and totally fell in love with them, they were 9X18ET34 and 11X18 ET18. I bought them on the spot and hoped that somehow (despite my calculations showing otherwise) that I could roll the stock arches on my 993tt to get them to fit.

They didn't fit (obviously) so I bought a set of flares from FVD and had the flares grafted on to match these wheels exactly - if you look at real 993 GT2s the wheels disappear under the wheel arch whereas mine are flush exactly with the edge -this has good points and plenty of bad points:

Good: looks awesome
Bad: can't lower the car too much, can only fit 285/30s on the back, struggle getting any other wheels to fit right.

The BBS race I have now were made to the exact same sizes as those original mag speedlines.
Few more pics, dragged it outside into the winter greyness:
If any kind RLer fancies helping out a numpty, a new avtar would be nice

No, the GT2's were based on the Turbo shirley? I've just pulled out a copy of autocar and it looks like a wide body to my eyes

Looks ace

LOL at Woodster, never thought of the wheel that way before.

BTW: when is the next to V-max Bruntingthorpe days for 2007?

OMG, nice pics and love the Techart wheel. I was gonna get the 996 carbon wheel, but this one looks a lot nicer with the wide grip and smaller diameter.

Really awesome pics of the car, but is that a castle in the background I see in some of the pics? Should we be addressing you as Sir TB993T?

MOD500

O/T - next v-max should be in March I think, keep an eye on the PH v-max forum

Are you sure about that Mary? I do know the front bumper a narrow body part.
