But you ARE getting a C2S not a C4S, right?

Yes I am planning on a C2S, currently thinking of GT silver with Ocean Blue leather and a few other options (BTW leather interior, grey top tint and PDE are included as standard in UK).

I have the same problem with my drive....it's weird, I can get it at an angle without scraping the plastic strips,but when I back out at an angle I scrape the plastic about 50% of the time !! I decided to let the plastic strips scrape, rather than spend 5-10K on a new drive. Eventually they will wear down enough to stop the scraping and I can always replace them in the future.

Armed with a few dimensions from Porsche technical support I set about the construction of a space frame to represent the critical aspects of the 911 ground clearance, approach and departure angles. I used this model to explain to the contractors the problem and they've used it to adjust the drive profile. The job should be completed next week, another demonstrator car visit is scheduled for Monday morning as a final check before the final top surface dressing goes on. - wish me luck. All being well I'll be placing an order in a few weeks time for a C2S, 2007 build.
