Talking My new steed!!

Thought it was about time I paid up, joined the forum and introduced myself and my new steed.

After much research and endless hours reading the forums (thanks guys for all your valuable info), I settled on a 2012 997.2 Turbo.

Pictures are below, and the specs are:

Sports Chrono Plus
PTV
Carrera Red Interior
Dynamic Lights
Park Assist
PDK
Seat Heating
Seat Ventilation
Floor Mats
Sunroof
Silver Dials
Multi-Function Carbon Steering Wheel
Turbo logo on the storage bin
Headrest Embossed Emblems
6 Disc Multichanger
Bluetooth
Illuminated Carbon Door Sills
iPod Connector
Painted Lip Spolier and Skirts
Coloured Crest Wheel Caps

To make her my own, I already have a Sport Design Steering Wheel (in black) on order, together with some black mats to break up the red.

Oh, and not forgetting a lovely shiny new Europipe Exhaust courtesy of Stef which should arrive on Wednesday.

Anyways, thanks again for all the advice I have gleamed already from the forums and thanks in advance for that to come.

Cheers, Paul

Congratulations Paul!! Awesome looking car!

I love the cleaner look of the non-USA/Canada cars without the ugly bumper-pimples (bumprettes). You probably don't have the crash bars in the doors and other stuff...so your car may be 100lbs lighter?

Love that color combo, one of my favorites for the 997.

2012 TTs and TTSs are scarce. I am biased, since your car is a close cousin of my car, but I think these are special cars that denote the end of a model cycle. Please let us know how the EP sounds relative to stock exhaust. To me, the exhaust tune of the TT is the only characteristic of this car that I am not 100%. Very unique color combo. Happy miles ahead.
