I agree with Chuck as well. Maybe just return the exterior though. The updates on the interior are low impact and the buyer can make that call. Maybe return the exterior to stock and sell the RUF body kit separately. Beautiful, unique and rare color! GLWS!

Absolutely stunning! It's pictures like these that reminds me why I still lust for the 993TT!

great car and worth every dime ...... but what's happening with this car is that the more recent buyers are more often wanting examples that haven't been modded and are pristine in every sense of the word. even ruf parts will have a hard time commanding any sort of premium

993 For Life, you need to market the car better. Start by taking better pictures, not indoors with poor lighting and stained concrete floors. Vacuum the floor mats. It's the little things like this that speaks volumes to the enthusiasts.

I don't think that i have ever seen a TT with Ruf bumpers that was still at the stock, SUV ride height !
What rocker panels are those ??
Nice car though.
(Nicer minus some of the add-ons IMO)

+2 You have a gorgeous car, put it back to stock and it'll sell pronto.

I just bought a very low mile metallic black and I would have preferred your car.

+1. Back to stock and it will sell; then sell the parts. The sum of the parts is worth more than the whole in this case.

Thanks everyone for the great commons, if that is the case, I will make the appreance of the car back to the stock look and take some better pictures (if the weather is nicer). However; If there is anyone interested the way it look right now let me know. Either way the new owner will get both stock and ruf bumpers and parts.

993 for life - Nice car! You have received some very good advise from your fellow Rennlisters.

I too would remove those bumpers unless you are willing to put some Ruf wheels and lower it a bit. Unfortunately, that will set you back a few bucks.

Can I ask you where you got your bumpers? Here in the states you rarely see a Ruf rear bumper with a European license plate opening.

Good luck

And just if it would help you out, I'd swap you my stock wheel/airbag for that hideous RUF wheel

Nice car. You'll miss her.....

Beautiful car. My second fav 993TT colour.

I have to agree with the majority, car would be far more attractive with stock garb, as opposed to the Ruf stuff.

GLWS!
