Black Beast

Since I never posted some pics of my ride on this board... here we go. My Turbo is a 2002 and it's 100% original. The only mod is a C4S front lip. Not very exciting, I know... but I like it 100% PORSCHE.

It's got the PCM (incl. phone), sport seats with Porsche logo and leather back, alu/leather for the **** and the handbrake, silver dials, silver stitches, parktronic and some other little gadgets... but I don't remember which parts were standard and which were an extra. The car is black (A1 - non-metallic). Leather is black.

What's the advantage of switching to a C4S lip?
I actually did the opposite, when I added a rear spoiler I put on a Turbo lip for increased downforce to compliment the rear spoiler.
Just wondering.

I think what the problem might be is that the turbo front bumper scrapes alot. The c4s has a gap in the center of the bumper lip which prevents scraping due to increased height. Im already on my second bumper lip and I dont even get to drive my car alot. Really curious to see what spoiler u put on your c4s, pics??????

All these cars ever need is a little suspension tuning and possibly exhuast (personal) thats about it your car is super clean looking...as well the euro ride height does not hurt

nice car
btw,
how do/can you TT guys raise the wing, and just keep it there? [never closing again]

i would think you would raise it manually with the button inside, and then disconnect the fuse.. ? does that work?

i see a number of turbos parked with the wing up thats why am wondering

If you raise it manually, and then you don't go over 75mph, it doesn't go back down. You have to hit the button again to put it down.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

@WARDHOG: Thanks. Yea, I am in Hanover.

@C4S Surgeon, Techart996: I had a couple of reasons for switching over to the C4S lip. The first and most obvious is the fact that it offers more everyday usability. It is raised in the middle and you don't kiss the ground with it that often. Second reason is that I personally prefer its look over the turbo lip's design. It looks cleaner and more solid, especially with its formed out air ducts. To an outside person, the turbo lip must look like a cheap aftermarket plastic thing. I also painted the C4S lip in the car's color... somehting I wouldn't have dared with the original lip (is it possible at all? It's so soft...). Last reason for the switch is the fact that this lip is way cheaper than the turbo lip, so it's very easy to replace (although I haven't managed to damage it yet). It's only around 79 Euros in Germany.

I've also noticed no problems at very high speeds with this lip. The car stays calm and neutral. So switching over to the C4S lip isn't really anything else than a minor cosmetical change.
