I have had mine around nearly 2 years now it had 90k miles on it a was a Cat D but had loads of service history a big folder of invoices etc including a letter off the guy who bumped it about 7 years ago and a list of all porsche dealer parts that were used. Tbh I bought it unseen at £20k it was in silver and tiptronic not the best combination in my opinion. As soon as I had it delivered I bought a new titanium exhaust and had Wayne Schofield map it it's now near 500bhp and flies. I then had it wrapped and new leather interior plus lots of trim either carbon dipped or actual carbon. I've put 4 new tyres on it and front GT3 6 pot brakes. I've also had the paddles fitted to the steering wheel. The only problem I have had is the ABS light came on which was a new front left sensor at £90 plus the engine light comes on now and again cos of the exhaust. I bought a code reader the car has never been over revved being a tiptronic helps there obviously and I bought a Bluetooth ecu adapter that I leave plugged in with an app so if the engine management light comes on I just reset it with my phone. Everything works it drives great sounds great I love it. Not as much fun as the GT3 but far better every day car. I like the changes I have made I didn't want a plain silver black interior car and at the end of the day I am very happy with the car that's all that matters eh! 1st pic is when I got the car...

Hard to comment on a customized car because it all comes down to personal taste but the work looks fabulously executed!

Barefoot

Thanks.... I realise that obviously not to everyone's taste especially the purists but I like it... So many grey/silver cars out there and I didn't want to paint it.... Easily goes back to original if need be.

great looking car! I like the changes and like you said, if you get bored, you can change it or go back. Congrats!

Barefoot

Thanks Scott it makes a change from the usual grey or black car with all black interiors that so many 996s are. After that era Porsche and lots of others started making more reds yellows orange cars etc.

Hockenheimring Germany.
Here is a video of my coach and buddy pushing the limits. The car had old toyos 315/30R18 and 235/40R18. I guess i will switch to trofeo Rs in stock size.
