Thanks for the offer for the heat gun. But I did what any true Porsche owner would do - I dropped $50 on a new heat gun so I could finish the job on my ride properly. So now I have a great heat gun and miles of different sized tubing on my workbench. All I want to do it go cut wires so I can tube them. (actually, I've always wanted a heat gun because for 20 years I have been utilizing the poor man method - the match and cigaratte lighter - and that always sucked when you accidently burned a little hole in the tubing with the flame, and then needed to cut the shrunk tubing off, cut the wire, reinsert a new tube, resolder the wire, and reburn the tube again....but I digress!!!)
I will do the install for you and take you up on dinner!! There is a Ruth Chris 20 minutes away from my house through the twisties.

Kinda funny, I purchased my heat gun when I made the wiring harness for the Teknosh Brake Controller on the Cayenne..

Mine came with Pirelli PZeros. I have always liked them as their dry grip is very good but they tend to wear out pretty quickly compared to the Pilots. Did yours come with Michelins? That will probably be my replacement so that I can compare.

Thanks guys, you've settled my nerves.
Just put my order in for a C4S and was worried about the colour, GT Silver.
Also looked at Artic and Seal but wanted something different (-ish, it's still Silver!!).
Tnunnery, cool car, almost exactly the same spec I'm going for.
Your pics to convinced me that GT is worth the extra, hope your having the time of your life with it.
Roll on March.

Yes, it does seem like ages ago! I'm glad those pics are still helpful for folks on the fence about colors. Keep me posted about your order. I'll be there to take pics while you are busy drooling and staring in disbelief that you are seeing your new beauty in person!
