Beautiful car, color and wheels. If you get the techart lip, make sure you also paint all the lower pieces (side skirts and rear lower valance) to make it flow.

 

Man that is an absolutely stunning car you have there. I love the colour combination and the rims absolutely look perfect on the car!!!! Congrats!!! What colour is the exterior?

 

Thanks everyone.
Harold, the color is Malachite Green... A few years ago I saw a Malachite Green Turbo in my neighborhood and wanted this color from the day I saw it.
I will post some more pictures in a few days.

 

I like the 20's.
Looks clean.

 

Nice pics, whats the specs on your wheel and tire setup?

 

Hey Ash... nice to meet you at the mini car meet. I dont know if you can recall that i do have the front Techart lip with barely any damage. My car is lowered about 1/2 inch and i think the big reason why the front lip is in good condition is because i am riding on 20's. I still have to angle going up and down driveways, but for the most part once you are lowered, your front lip wont be ripping off because you also have 20" wheels.

 

Thanks.... the Techart Lip is a mod I want.... good to meet you, what a great looking car you got.

 

20" wheels shouldn't increase your ride height unless your varying a great deal from stock tire rolling diameters (which you SHOULD NOT be doing).

 

Thats what Damon at Tirerack said also... however I had a lowered E46 bmw before and with 18's i would scrape on almost every speedbump that i would go over... with 19's the car would clear the speedbumps... thats just from my experience... gonna get some 19 track wheels on the p-car so i will put it to the test... Good info regardless... thanks!

 

OT - sorry todo.

Pic was taken at Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve (not THAT poppy ).
For anyone in Southern Cal., the drive from LA to the reserve is a fantastic Porsche road, especially on weekdays. Here is the map.

 

Hot. Welcome to the p40 club. Love ur color.

 

Beautifulllll Turbo!!!!! love the wheels!!!!! Im going to pick mine up tomorrow, but i have a last minute question. The set i want are 20s, how do you like that size? did you think it lowered your performance of the car in anyway?? i hear so many mixed reviews on 20 inch wheels for these cars :-/.. let me know what you think- Thanks!
Eric

 

actually the amber side markers work quite well with this "BriTTish" appealing deutsch
auto...hip hip I say and cheerio...I like it as-is.

 

Eric,
The ride of the car is surely harsher after the P40's.. I can feel the road more now... But I am getting used to it.
No change in performance whatsover.
The car height has also increased and now I rarely scrape the front lip when I leave my office ramp.
I will be making the last mod to this car... Billstein Damptronics soon at which time I will lower the height of the car.

Serpentene - I did change the side markers and the clear ones look better...

Others - thanks for the compliments - it is harder now for me to park the carina isolated car park - it is more susceptible to theft... I think.

 

great lookin HRE
