I am a fan of that look

 

Darren,

To quote the band Chicago; "you're my inspiration."

O3 C4S,

Thanks. I'd love to do the rear spoiler like Darren's and Don's. I think that would finish up the exterior.

I ordered some alu-look parts from Gert - console, A/C surround, and door handles.

Eric

 

Eric what do you have in the center of the bumper - is it open or do you have a cap that is in there? Mine came open and I was going to put mesh behind it or a third radiator for future track events - Picking up the car tonight with ROW sport suspension intsalled

 

Darren,

I left it open. I asked the shop to install the cover from my stock bumper, but it didn't fit. It actually looks better open. It's so dark in there, you can't really see in. I probably should have bought the 3rd radiator kit - it's only about $200. Mesh will look real good too.

I'm sure the suspension will look good. It kind of bothers me the way the car sits up so high in the front - at least the amount of space between the top of tire and the fender.

Eric

 

eric I have mesh in silver from BYdesign I will give you when I put my third radiator kit in - just pay the shipping

 

Eric,

What a beauty!! Looks great!! how about a nice rear C4S bumper to match. . just leave the bumperettes on just don't tell your wife that I mentioned it

 

thats damn good lookin'

 

Thanks guys.

Kevin, your the driving force behind this money pit - you bastard!

Darren, sounds great. Can you install the mesh with the bumper on or does it have to come off to install?

 

Hi Eric

Congratulations and lucky you, in November last year - I paid $85,000 for a 996 C4 Cabriolet, with just 6,000 miles on the clock. Wait for it, 1999 model, yes cars are expensive in the UK, compared with Europe and the US. So if any members come to London and find it expensive - spare a thought.

You will get many hours of fun out of your car, it's awesome. Good choice of colour also, the wheels look cool too.

What size 19 tires are you running. I'm looking at 19 inch rims but having a hard time deciding what size tires to get.

Thanks

I have slight rubbing on the driver's side front if I turn the wheel all the way when backing up.
