To pass German MOT a functioning windscreen blower / demister is required.

What does it take to make the sils look right on a 964 backdate?

Not mine, its done by a UK firm, Precision Porsche. Sils is not the issue in it self but what needs to be done underneath ... I am thinking major underbody surgery, floorpans?

Is that the 964R? I thought that car had changed hands and was forever missing in action.

I'm thinking fashion gray or a shade lighter. Looks even better on the classic!

Going to use that color on another (non porsche) project. I think that fashion grey and sport classic grey are the same color L63A?

I believe the paint code for fashion grey is 61H.

Wonder if anyone knows if there is actually a difference between fashion grey and sport classic grey or did they just come up for a new number for the old formula?
