lee's 996 C4 project thread

The LED's wont be to everyone's taste but I actually think they look quite smart so well done to you - I also saw a Boxster at an Ace Café meet last month with the LED fronts and we all agreed that they looked realllly good (and that was amongst a bunch of TIPEC members who are as conservative in 'stock vs not' as you can get) :grin:

The induction kit is also a great idea as you seem to have identified it'll do more for induction roar than for power. Spot on! I also recommend a Dansk Sports exhaust as well when you get round to it. I had one on mine and it got really positive mentions by all.

Or search Gundo Hack on the forum search (it's old school BTW so you need to dust down your 'AND' and your 'OR' when inputting - think 'BT Internet Explorer' rather than Google).

Plenty of great threads on ICU as well - plenty have done the iPad mini conversion.

Enjoy your car - many on here have genuine affection for the 996.1 :grin:

Nice bit of sucking!! Like that :thumb:
 
cheers nick :wink: i'm certainly enjoying it although its doing no favours for my fuel consumption

washed her today so took a couple of random pics





cleaned the leathers with gliptone cleaner and conditioner as love that new leather smell it leaves



and then got round to sorting a little niggle i was meant to sort when i 1st got her but got side tracked





so out came the scuff master kit! and shes still drying and its too dark to take a pic now but will post the after pics in the morning :wink: :lol:
 
and the afters





the scuff was a little deeper than i thought so you can if you inspect closely make out a little depression in the leather
but i'll build that up with another coat next week :wink: (and thats a rain drop you can see on the seats not a blob of leather dye lol)
but im happy with the results 8)
 
yep thats the same gliptone cleaner and conditioner which i think are top notch but then its a leather dye i got with them that has fixed the scuff

got mine from here http://bespokeleathering.com/leathercare/buyonline

although got it a little cheaper as hes a site supporter on a bmw forum im on so may be worth an email saying your a forum member and getting the discount :thumb:

hes the bloke tim shaw and fuzz went too to fix leather stuff on that resto programme on not long back
and he's helpful too with any questions etc

Very nice. Car looks great.
Link to the induction kit?
 
a small update since fitting LED rear lights the licence plate bulbs looked a little out of place so had to be done!

the bulb comparison



new on left standard on right



and done

 
Great thread. Induction kit looks so cool. That tyre looks like it was wearing uneven? have you had alignment checked? I like look of iPad mini but want to keep mine original
 
a tiny update just to help keep things a little tidier in the limited space for storage i do have



velcro backed so sticks to the sides nicely
