Advice on this white tt

Still looking for a tt and was planning on either slate, arctic or seal, but came across this white tt on ebay and its located where I live. What is the consensus on a white tt? I really havent seen any pics of one modded. I would plan do do wheels, techart or mashaw gt2 front bumper etc, but not sure how it would look on a white car. Lastly, what do you think this car is worth and would appreciate comments about the mods already done to the car. Ebay number is 4628358519. I would do more performance upgrades as well but I am not exactly sure how good the current setup is. Sorry for the newbie questions.
Thanks,
BK

White tt's are the best!!

Not sure about the GM level interior, though.

Yea I would add navigation and carbon fiber to the interior. Any thoughts of what kind of price I should shoot for on this? Also does anyone have pics of a white tt with a techart type 2 or gt2 style front bumper and wheels?? Also, are these mods: " H&R super sport suspension, Evom intake, FVD racing headers and exhaust, FVD stage 3 DME and last but not least APEXI' Turbo Timer." any good?? Seardch function would be very useful right now haha. I am particularly interested in how this exhaust sounds compared to others.

This is a great looking car. It also has some decent mods already and you will LOVE driving it. I was looking for white also but found only one a couple of months ago. (This one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/911-T...QQcmdZViewItem )

The only issue I have with the one you are looking at is the interior ... nothing special in terms of color / contrast. If you can find a similar white model that's either all black, a black / tan combo, or black / tan / carbon fiber interior ... GO FOR IT.

Yea I would definitely add carbon fiber for dash and center console, not sure what I would do about contrast for the seats etc...

I dont think those are HRE wheels though. They look like Gemballa or Cargraphic. Nice car otherwise though except the tan interior is pretty blah...

It doesnt say anything about HRE wheels, it just has stock ones on it from what I see. What would be a fair price for this car? I am still torn between going with arctic or seal...

If you can find Meridian Metallic (like mine, very rare), it's an awesome color - especially in the sunlight. I love white though also, and Seal Grey.

If these are the same H&R adjustable coilovers I had, you couldn't get me to take them off fast enough. They let you lower the car to a more visually pleasing height, but the ride quality was horrendous.

The interior, though....Where to begin? Perhaps a set of black leather sport seats and then paint the seat back white for starters?

DO IT! White is one of the best colors for the 996TT. Silvers look good, but they are all too common (no offense to anyone).
