Install some rear Dectanes, some front LED combo lights, and it will essentially make your 997.1 look like a .2.

I take it you've done this? Can I get a general idea on cost and whether this can be a DIY project?

I'm sure there's threads on this already and I honestly haven't dug through them yet, but if there's a well-known place to purchase the parts I would love the resources!

Yes, both my 997.1s are further down in this thread - the GT Silver RUF R-Kompressor and the pink pearl wife's car. Someone is almost always selling a good rear set of LED Dectanes when they sell their car and want to make a few $'s back on their mods. You should be able to get a good pair of rears in the $400-$500 range. Installation is 2 screws and one connector. Delray customs sells what they say is a slightly different set of rears with upgraded LEDs and offer a 1 year warranty. I do not have any personal experience with them. Depo is the OT Herb good brand of rear LED lights, but they have a slightly different lens design and I personally like the Dectanes better, but do some research and see what you like better. Avoid the Spyder brand.
I think all front LEDs are the same and they're plug & play. Refer to your manual for the procedure to pop out the front lights. Also a simple DIY. You can find these 2nd hand on the forums too, also on eBay and the other normal sources.

May not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's mine and I love it.

Anyway, I love your car !!
recently spent some time in the Somme, post BMW Euro delivery, and your picture reminded me of the good times with my father

Only a photo from the dealer's site (but it's quite surreal that it's actually sitting in my garage).

I appreciate the info, you saved me a ton of time digging up old threads.

I was getting ready to drive down to Delrey customs but I think I'm going to take your advice and see if I can get better value elsewhere. It's something I want to install for fun, not something I absolutely must have at the moment

Can't use the superlative SWEETST, because then I'd have to be done, although looking to get a Cayenne Turbo with a TechArt Magnum Widebody kit in the next couple years which may get that tag.

I just bought a 928 Spyder that's being Supercharged at 928MS in WI and because it's SUPERcharged, it will have the tag SUPRSWT.
