It looks good. Goes to show you that the problem with the rear of the 991 is not all that lettering. It's much more than that. Much more.

Pretty easy PTParks.

40mm spacing between each letter, masking tape (following the slight curvature of the lid) and this in turn provides a guide on which to apply the letters. The spacing between the top (PORSCHE) and bottom row (911 Carrera) is the same as the Capital height of the Porsche lettering.

Only one chance to apply the letters, so if you are looking to do the same just be patient and take your time.

The parts came in 3 packs - Porsche (individual letters), 911 (on a backing template) and the Carrera badge (1 piece script)

As far as I can recall the price was around £35 per pack, so just over £100 in total.
