All fair points Jamie. I just hate the after the fact argument and Prestigio won't accept completely that if it's warranted, it's legal. They say if it it turns out after the fact the fine print and interpretation of the assessor says it isn't, there might be a problem. I think I'll just get a LVVC and sleep easy. Trouble is you'd have to get it re-certified every time you do a little mod. Have discussed this at length with Macca. Like $ it is getting boring, but all part of the rich tapestry that is P-cars.
Anyway, like the seats. Good luck with the sale.

I have no problem with the LVVC and understand from a political/legislative perspective the intention and introduction of LVVC. What I don't like about it is the dirty great big plate they rivet to your car and the fact that every change would need a re-assessment, more $$$, new plate printed and re-riveted to your car. Such a clunky system and there are much better ways to do this and achieve the same or better outcome. Even more so now with the Police having full access via iPads on car and driver history! But again if you look at who they were targeting with it and the intention you understand why.

Whats its worth... what someones prepared to pay. Reality is I don't really want to sell or care if it does so its irrelevant to me. There's plenty other manual C2 993's for sale in NZ... oh wait... nope 
It's a lovely car to be stuck with

Yip. I know the car Oli Newbegins 1973 RS. Hes selling up his collection now. I think hes in his 80s. This however is again asking international Christies prices on the ground in NZ so unlikely to happen. The way to sell a car like this is to ship it to Europe/UK or USA and pay RM or a proper auction house to market it properly.
Christchurch has always been an interesting market. Keen to learn whats been happening down there recently.

The new owner is well known in the CHCH region.

He may have been asking international prices, but this 73 RS 2.7 sold very very quickly. I phoned the dealer today as I was keen to purchase this and its gone and already been delivered to the new owner. They achieved very close to the asking price of 1.2m I am told...... The new owner is well known in the CHCH region.

8x18 et56 24mm lip with a 5mm spacer
10x18 et47 62mm lip
I was set on Platiinum Gold but David from Works NZ just posted these pics on FB. They are VSXX but i'm quite taken with them. Matte Bronze center with gloss Bronze lip. Black hardware. The VSXX don't do a 5x130 fitment but i'm having a coffee with him on the weekend and will ask if they do this combo on the Brombachers which are almost identical
Any thoughts anyone on Bronze on a Black 964??

Im not sure I can be of any help Warwick. A few months ago Nick & the boys at Platinum measured and fitted me out for a set of Work S1s Id seen on ther stand at Festival of Speed. I would have ordered them with the normal steel bolts rather than gold. We held one up against the car after taking all the measurements. May give you an idea on a darker car. The specs we calculated are below:
Front 18x8 +43 = 58mm
Rear 18x10 +56 = 71mm
Front 18x8 +43 = 58mm
Rear 18x10 +56 = 71mm

Looking good Warwick. Hundy club here you come!
Meanwhile I have a new found respect for composite builders. This is a messy and exacting process. Thank goodness I'm working on under body parts so the Virgos out there can't get too close. Not sure if I will sand and lacquer as the first low driveway will do the work in.

Looking at the pic Macca put up I also wonder about black and bronze combo. Though on its own I really like the polished lip on the original pic
