Default new to 996 club from the uk!

hello guys im lee from the uk

was a bmw man for years and then fancied a change!
was originally looking at audi rs4's and s5's but after searching auto trader etc
i saw a few tasty porkas creeping in the budget

and after looking at a few i ended up with this beauty









shes a 2001 c4 with factory aero
pretty much immaculate bar some lacquer peel on the wheel which i'll get to sorting
she had 56k mileage wise and a decent history with a lot been spent on her so im over the moon and getting many smiles per miles

since owning her i've done a few little little mods that i'll put up in a progress thread if anyone is interested in seeing?

thanks for the warm welcomes and @lagodue
that was the for sale pics! i think the plate hiding things stems back from a time where there was a fair bit of plate fraud about the uk lol and no i dont drive around like that lol infact a recent mod was led licence plate bulbs so its lit up even more than normal ;-)

Nice looking Aero C4, do share your other mods you've done. The interior looks well cared for.

I really like that wing! I'm not a big fan of the "Taco" style wing but yours is nice. It's almost got the feeling of a modified "whale tail" style to it...NICE
