Hi all
I'm based out in the Middle East and I'll be most possibly returning to Blighty after 8 years of been away. I want to bring my low mileage 997.2 C4S with me, which I've owned for a few years. Now I appreciate it will be LHD etc etc but the car means a lot to me and the real plan will be to move to Europe at some point and as a returning Brit, I'm tax/duty exempt on the car, so financially make sense!
Soo, having read some things and getting into the details of shipping etc, I need to do a few things on the car for the IVA test
1) Replace the rear light cluster for RHD ones. This is due to the rear fog light been on the wrong side.
Where is the best place to get a set of these? I see ULO is a company that sells them new, but I can assume these are NOT OEM quality? Will I have much luck with salvage/eBay?
2) Front lights. I assume these can be adjusted for RHD?
3) Underseal/Waxoyl - Since the car has been in a very dry climate, is it worth having this done when the car lands in the UK. There is zero rust on the car, even the exhaust bolts etc are pretty much rust free!
4) Is the Sharkwerks by-pass pipe MOT friendly? Or shall I swap this back for the original to be on the safe side?
Anything else I need to consider? The speedo can toggle to miles/MPH. I've contacted Porsche for a Certificate of Conformity as well.
Thanks!
