These are the static cling on ones we had made in the USA on a different forum. The square clear backing comes away to leave just the letters...there were also external ones we got which were larger (as seen on the 993 engine lid). I thought given my car is already self designated a an "anniversary" edition on of these would look nice somewhere on the car...just some ideas for the Rennsport Gruppe one thats all....

I agree. Keep it simple. Im thinking of replacing the "anniversary" decals I have at the base before the rear guards with the "911-50" ones for a little while as a change. For the base of the rear window a white "Rennsport Gruppe" one in white cut out vinyl static cling would be nice. At present having nothing on the windows so don't want to create clutter but the RSG one would mean something to me. As for the banner Ill only run these for track Days I suspect as a bit garish for road application maybe.

Macca, they will hear you coming long before they see you.
I won't put a banner on the Turbo 3.6 but the C4 could use some colour and the 996 is relatively subtle in red on white. At the price you won't feel bad using them for a short period.

All that talk of Plastidip on the other thread made me get a couple of cans. Will finish the wheels on one side tonight. 1 can will do 5 coats on 2 D90 wheels. I'm really starting to like my D90's.
Photos of work to date coming soon.

Right, I think I will put the white on red on the C4 as it's a light car and needs some contrast.
Very interested to see how the Plastidip goes. With the Fuchs I now have the ability to take all four 3 piece wheels off the car and renovate at once.
BTW: I decided to remain a neighbourhood pest and keep the bypass pipe on.

Any reason you wouldn't put the new wheels on for this weekend? Given they have the Hankooks on isn't a pretty straightforward swap. Or do you need to work with spacers and camber to fit them in?

BTW: The Fuchs are a direct fit to 964s. No spacers required.

A few tips for Plastidip application.
Mask the tyre not far from the bead, I didn't and as the coating thins out it doesn't peel off the tyre with the bulk. 1/2 hour later and worn out fingers it's all done. 5 coats as thick as I dare isn't really enough to get a decent enough thickness skin to get it to peel away from the tyre detail, and upon close inspection, tyres have a lot of junk on the sidewalls. Went with grey as an exploratory possible finish when I persuade one of you gents out of your cup 1's.
Banner looks good.

Hope you enjoy the magazine article. They told me issues with Porsche dont usually sell as well (people like to read about Holden's n NZ LOL!). I reckon we have a good chance of proving them wrong for July Edition!
Im getting very jealous over here with the upgrades guys. Apart form fitting the Trackit GPS, Monit Rally computer and ugluy 2kg fire extinguisher for the Targa last year I havent done anything to my ride for 24 months so Im getting withdrawal symptoms!
I do however have a few sneaky things in transit. Heigo finally came through with the half cage so thats on its way from Germany to Belgium before shipping to NZ. Im not sure if yours is ready yet David but told Gert to let us know and maybe ship them together if it is. here is some suspension **** but not sure when it will get fitted. There is also some CF **** coming....then there is a used trunk carpet I will cut into an RS style carpet and the RS washer bottle which I will have custom fabricated to accept the standard cars low washer fluid float. Just not sure how/when I will get all this fitted. Unlikely to get it all done before NITT unfortunately...
