I would go with a RUF front bumper and coilovers and that's it!

Car looks great, congrats. I gotta agree, yellow belts make the interior.

You can't beat the look of the RTurbo front end conversion and it's pretty reasonable vs. a GT2 conversion. Contact Mike at RUF Auto US and he'll get you setup.

Thanks for the comments. I agree about color matched belts and hard seat backs… those are very cool options. I almost bought a 2002 yellow/black with yellow belts, setbacks, center console, and various other yellow trims. The car is still for sale at Cars.com, vehicle is located in Connecticut BMW dealership. It has similar millage as mine too. The car had 5 owners though. The price was less than mine but given mine was 2003, with x50, RUF upgrades, and two previous owners I thought of going with mine. The buying process was so painless with RUF, very classy and professional process they have.
But I agree those yellow seat backs are very smart!!
At this point I am going to enjoy the car as is before I add anything  BTW I did buy a child seat (that fits R-seat) from Denmark so the entire family can enjoy the car. May be I’ll buy a pair of yellow sunglass for my wife for now

What is the Painted interior package from the factory. I have a 2001 911 turbo, with the yellow belts, console, armrest and trim around the radio and speakers grilles.

My interior is exactly like yours at the moment (converted from beige with the Big Wood Package) and I was also contemplating the yellow belts. I have been warned against them by a couple people because they are apparently hard to keep clean. I'm on the fence.

I've contemplated doing the seat backs with matching yellow vinyl wrap for expedience and reversibility. Haven't talked to a supplier yet...

It looks great as it is, IMO.

Ha! I have a very similar car. Here's my current 2003 RUF 550 conversion parked next to my SYGT3 which it replaced.
