996 GT3 mk2 Guards Red

orb why I have not seen GT3s with the front mesh as it makes perfect sense to do it!! annoying but hey ho,

Some people put mesh in back in ye olde days, but it was a rare mod as perversely it invalidated the warranty (I kid you not). Now that they are out of warranty the only reason not to has become the spiralling values and perceived desirability of originality :nooo:

If I still had my old 996 I would certainly do it.
 
an expensive day!!

new bosch alternator and drive belt:





replacement rear bumper painted and fitted (the old repaired one was not holding and was cracking above near side exhaust)



OEM exhaust tips..so much better and a slightly deeper noise too. Tips were welded on as bolts tend to rattle and rust quick:





all done now and where I want the old girl to be. just to drive and enjoy ;-)

great work as ever by Scotts Performance in Dartford, Kent. great local German specialist ;-)
 
Thanks for posting, Epic Car BTW, lovely.
 
am doing the centre console delete. being over 6ft its annoying at best of time and I don't really use it. drove an RS recently and that just felt more comfortable with no CC there.

the club sports and RS have this mod. its an easy mod (not that cheap) from the OPC and will go/look like this for anyone with a centre console and 996:







£130 from the local OPC. result cheaper than anywhere on web or US
 
got the centre console delete stuff from the OPC and all went well.

only took about 30 mins once I had worked it all out and managed to lift the main gearstick console a little so I could get the console delete kit under. getting the metal bracket out with the 4 10mm nuts is a bit fiddly with a spanner but stuck with it.

its a great match with the OEM carpet and it looks so much nicer in the cabin. much less cluttered too and much more leg room for the over 6 footers

follow the instructions on the pelican site and you cant go wrong....















 
Beautiful car
 
missed out on the OPC pompey visit due to a ruddy christening near Twickenham.

consoled myself with a clean and polish today. I took it to Williams HQ on Friday to host some clients which was fun and spirited. quite a lot of brake dust and rubber around ;-)

onwards and upwards.
