I'm also very against using any parts which whilst might be official Porsche parts, but that does not belong to that car, i.e. the Wing and the Smile. I just wouldn't want to have that conversation once I'd bought it, where I'm having to explain why it's got various other model hints.
You've done the perfect thing which is enjoy the vehicle how you want, which involves changing things, but you've kept the originals. Well done.
The very first Porsche I went to look at years ago was a hotchpotch of allsorts of parts, so much so, the seller couldn't even tell me which model it began life as, so I quickly left!
I've just been to view a car this weekend gone, and even though it's not got any aftermarket parts on, because the wheels have been refurbed so poorly, I've just written it off. If they don't care enough to get the simple things right, what else have they ignored...
What I'm getting at is that it only takes a little sour taste to put someone off, especially if it's a purchase of significance, which cars at this value would regularly be I imagine. So put it back to standard, sell the parts on to others on here, I'm sure it'll cause you less headaches, and put more notes in your pocket, however temporarily they stay there!

Just a few nuts and bolts (and a bumper) and it will be back and appealing to socks and sandals.
Are the wheels OE it might be the pictures but yours don't look as concave on the rears as mine ?
I think a second hand front pu is approx £250 and £200 to paint and fit, when the time comes I will get this done along with reversing all of the other mods. Good spot, the wheels aren't OE, I like the look so put on a set of replicas which, contrary to what people say I can't feel any difference in how the car feels, I don't however drive it on the ragged edge as I am not a good enough driver to do so, the original wheels were taken off, 2 were refurbed before being put into storage.
I think a black on black 997.1 turbo coupe with a manual box should attract some attention given the lack of cars of this type on the market in the spring, hopefully.

I'm waiting for v8fettler's valuation given the car has been 'messed about with' :roll:
Bad luck on the spoiler rams as I believe there is a cheaper fix available. However spending the full price on the fix will stand you in good stead with the socks and sandals brigade :thumb:
Cood luck with the sale chum.
