Nice- it'd be even better with a (non script) "911" like the old "911s"

Do you mean with larger digits and only digits?

Looks lovely. This is my first msg on this forum as I have become a first time owner of a 2007 C4 S. It's been de-badged, and I would like to re-badge. Can anyone advise me how to go about this ?

Nothing wrong with that! Looks great and I like the 911 badge too.

SMOD,
go to bumperplugs.com, he is a sponsor here. Super quick service and you can get everything you want in one place. I got the actual bumper plugs(mine had 4 holes) the key hole cover and a matte black 911 to replace the carrera badge. The badge just sticks on with 3M. Super easy to do.

That looks great! An hommage to the classic, I love it. I was planning on changing my "Carrera S" to just a "911" but this is stirring up evil thoughts in my head!

No, the really cool thing about the 911 letters is they come attached to a piece of paper spaced already. There is also a clear piece of paper/material on the front. At first I took the front clear paper off and quickly realized that I should leave the clear on, remove the rear part. Line up the numbers on the rear bumper and press them on. The front clear piece keeps them perfectly spaced apart for installation. Once the numbers are stuck on just pull the clear off. You will see what I am talking about when you get them. My matte black 911 looks so much better than carrera on the back.
