My '01 C4 was ordered with no badging. Then owner 2 or 3 decided to add a black 'carrera' badge on the deck lid. The OCD in my wants to correct it with the proper Carrera4 badge, but that means removing the perfectly good carrera badge, and buying expensive badges. Or just removing the badge on it now.

Sorry to threadjack. OP, you have a beautiful car and I think it looks much better than the yellow one!

Ha! Thank so everyone. I don't consider it threadjacking, just discussing!

yeah as far as the magnets, if anyone wants them let me know.

as far as the wing, I believe it is a misha GT2 wing without the 3rd brake light.

i am not in Seattle anymore. I moved to Vegas a couple years ago but was in the Seattle area the 30 years before that. Go Hawks!

if anyone needs a stock spoiler with all the hardware, a battery charger, a racing helmet, or 2 jl subsbin a custom box that fits in the rear seats, let me know.

The magnets sound like a great accent for your beer fridge...if you don't want them for that I would use them for just such a purpose

I'll take a magnet badge if you are offering. My garage fridge is pretty empty in the decoration department.

FYI, I had the same Porsche charger, as you and got $80 selling it on CL. Went pretty quickly too.

Could you elaborate on this a little bit? Overcharging, short circuit, etc?

I run tenders on several of my cars and motorcycles for long periods of time with no issues so far.

Thanks.

Why would a tender cause a fire? I have my bike on one and never had an issue.

Someone is trying to be funny.

tinder = something flammable

tender = something to keep your battery happy
