Way to go, Newbie! Your P-car looks fantastic with the mod. What's next on the list?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Phil, that was a good one! It's good to know that, like me, you are still "tarp as a shack."

Thank you. If you can visualize this, I'm having Eric 'paint' new 'mud-guards' (right in front of the rear wheel openings) Speed Yellow. Then I'm having them 3m'ed to protect from road debris. I've done a photo shop and they look very nice painted............(IMO)

Sport Design wheels. - check.
spoiler - check
uppercubby in the console - check
It is only a matter of time, my friend. Besides, I love helping you spend YOUR money!
Do, do, DO IT! Don't make me have to photo shop painted bumperettes on you car!

Look, I've got to admit that I am slightly tempted, but I'm not convinced that it will look much better than the contrast of black on white (which I do love).

I'm also reluctant to be putting too much more money into the car considering that a sport sedan (Panamera or M3) is in my future when my wifey's car needs replacing... although for that price it's not a bad mod.

OK, so don't get the aluminum gas cap for the Panamera. Your wife won't even know what she didn't get.

The money you just saved paid for the painted bumperettes!

It would be a major improvement on your white car Wayne! And it would add to the selling price I bet (if and when you sell)!

One of us....one of us...

Wayne, "slightly tempted" means it's a done deal. You'll have the bumperettes on by Spring - sooner if Tim photoshops them onto your 996. Second, if you opt for a new M3 or Panamera, your wife, not her car, will need to be replaced.

I guess you've lost me here Phil. I'm confused.

As for the bumperettes, it's unlikely that I'll end up getting them.

OK Wayne, Phil made me do this. My mother always told me to obey my elders!

I think the painted bumperettes look good.
