We tried to do a calculation about it this weekend and it looks like we are saving some money even compered to a high mileage TT.
If I buy a car with 200000Km on the tacho it will allways be high mileage car, My car had a straight chassie but alot of bodywork smashed and 18500KM on it. If I compare them I prefer I low KM car.

Midnight blue looks awesome on 996`s.
See https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...107170&page=12 for pics of mine or take the flight over to Gotland and come visit my garage.
Depending on the attention you want on the street, light colours is better on racecars (easier to see leaks etc) but will draw more attention from cops..

Black is a great colour on a 996TT :-) Hope to see you (and your car) on a track this summer, keep up the good work!

I agree, midnight blue is really nice!
But when you have some sponsors it is not really the best colour to put stickers on!

The Cops can´t keep up with me so I can´t see a problem with light colours..

If thats the case I would choose orange! It suits the 997 look very well in my opinion, and make the sponsor stickers stand out.

We striped the doors from everything for the paintjob including crash bars and so on.

I agree again!
And I was close to chosing orange but I have a red dashboard so orange didn´t fit that good?!

My premium choice for the moment is white.. But I want some second opinions from you guys!

We also tried the rear decklid.
The wingblade is not ready yet but you can be sure it will make some downforce..
