996TT - any thoughts on these mods?

Anyone have some thoughts about the mods that have been made to this car (I'm not that familiar with the pros and cons of the various types of mods available for the TT's - have generally been looking at stock cars) - I'm really after a GT2 but that may be a bit hard to find in Oz - yellow is generally not my colour either but this one does look quite striking to me - ignore the price, thats what they all cost over here

Great set up and great look - I think the steering wheel is one the wrong side - this car will go very fast and is going to be a rocket off the line.

I agree - it seems to be nicely done - just not 100% sure about yellow. They also have one in white:

All thought on either are much appreciated - going to go and check them out!

I like the look of the white one better. Put a set of GT3 seats in and you're done!

I almost purchased the blue 2003 996TT from QSM.....got the funds together but it sold prior. Ended up purchasing a very low km 2001 996TT privately. Of the three 996TT's QSM currently have avail.....the white 2001 looks the best & great value!!

Gotta love the speed yellow and black interior. Only one thing I'd be careful of on this car. I'm not sure...but i think the steering wheel may be on the wrong side.

Yeah I saw the blue one they advertised when I had just started looking - looked nice but was auto from memory. I guess it is out of the question to consider doing a colour change on either of these cars.

You could buy a 2001 996TT and mod it to equivalent spec for less than $210,000.
