Hi everybody I am new to the forum , and have recently purchased a 1998 996 C2 , I am trying to decipher the option codes for my car and have just about managed all of them except for CODE 790 , that I think might relate to a rear badge ? (or lack of) and the numerous 5 digit codes that I believe relate to what was known as the Porsche exclusive program, if anybody could shed some light on the codes 00051 , 00501 , 09971 , 09981 , 09991 , 21631 , 21451 , It would be much appreciated Thanks Paul

00051 = Sonderfarbe = Special order color
21631 Deviated yellow stitching

I didn't continue Googling to find the rest - but you just need to keep digging to find these online.

Try plugging your VIN here: http://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Porsche

Gives you your build sheet basically. Very useful site.

Did you scroll down? The top section is set for some reason. If you scroll down your will get to your specific car info. Build date, acquisition cost, etc. I am in the US obviously.

I had not scrolled down, but still came up with my car being incorrect model.

For some reason the first third of the page is a generic block. If you want, PM me your VIN and I will give it a shot.
