Yes, the original seats are black/alcantara and are being stored under plastic at home.

I've been itching to run Willow again after being away for many years - your white RS is looking good - I especially like the polished wheel lips.

Haven't been there since 2003 myself

Hmm... ok so black centers, polished outer then eh

BTW Guys, just an update on the newer (and slightly lighter) HRE C-90 series. Those do accept the Porsche center caps now unlike the original C-21s....

And for those of you who don't like the hook, as Alex says, it takes about 30 seconds to unthread it and put the color-matched plastic plug back in its place.

Seriously thanks for the kind words and honestly it's our pleasure. We love GT3s and RS'. It's the best car I've owned to date and even I promised my wife I wouldn't mod it when we got it

Looks so good at the track. Mooty and I would have gotten white too had we been able to (I think a few more would have too). Enjoy in good health!

PS Hope that drive was good?

Hey Shark, any pics of these new C-90 wheels? I looked on HRE's website under the C-series wheels but couldnt find anything.

Great to meet you Saturday and for sure

LWF's should have come standard but at least we can do them now... I've usually got the green car at the shop so I can show you the what, how and why stuff etc...
