EDIT: Please note this thread was started in October 2015.

In 3 years time, when it's £45k and not £70k, I could really see myself in this.

Guards Red, Ducktail, nice wheels, PCCBs, PDK



 
I like the spoiler, and Guards Red is just a classic 911 colour, lovely car that :thumb:
 
What model 991 is this Terry or does it just wear a certain aero? :?:

It's just a C2S.

The duck tail and any other body extras (front PU?) aren't even mentioned on the windscreen blurb.

3 years old, 17k miles. £69,995
 
That looks very nice , colour and duck tail look great :thumbs:
 
Sorry, not doing it for me. Ducktail looks all wrong on this car. I'd stick with your 997T Terry, and keep it forever. :thumb:
 
Terry,

Looks lovely aside from the ducktail. Love the colour. But tell me pls... On PM if you prefer, how does your 997T compare to your 996T? I feel an itch for one and the 997 feels like a better bet in the medium term. I don't see their values dropping by much as the 996 T prices comes up to match.
 
Yeah, I'm not for the ducktail on the 991, just doesn't seem right. The rest of it, yum yum. Always a dangerous place to visit OPC Tonbridge (unless I'm mistaken).

Hi Joe,

Have a read here => 996T / 997 Comparisons

Now 8 months / 5000 miles in I've discovered nothing new. As a car the 997T does everything the 996T did ....... but better. To get a 996T as nice as my 997T you'd have to pay a similar amount of money and that seems crazy.

As an investment ....... :dont know: ..... I bought mine to use.
 
I think a ducktail looks great- but only on a 2.7RS

These are my thoughts..
I like the 991 but somehow this kit doesn't look right on the c2s to me. Maybe it's the wheels?
I'd rather yr 997.1 turbo Terry :thumb:

Ditto, but not the Ducktail for me and I'd prefer black wheels, especially with those yellow callipers :thumb:

Edited to fix the quotes.
 
Thanks for your input Guys :thumb:

For me it's the wheels, ducktail and PCCBs that make this car special.

I'd two-tone the wheels (dark anthracite and black, like my 997T) but otherwise it'd be :cloud9:

The key driver would be the 'cost to change'. In 3 years time I might be in 'straight swop' territory. If so the chance to have a 5 year newer car would swing it for me.

In the meantime ..... I've still got pics to drool over.
