Motorsound airbox is really just a little bling for the engine bay. Some owners say they can hear a difference in induction noise but I honestly couldn't, hence I've left my latest 993 with the basic unit.
Some nice additions Nik. Black Steering Wheel in any Non-Black interior works well. 3 Spoke full leather wheels are definitely the connoisseur's choice.
Looking forward to seeing the wheels once painted and fitted.
Apart from suspension which you mentioned in an earlier thread, what other bits have you got planned?

Still a bit of a moveable feast at the moment, but roughly...
Fit the 18" rims
Retrim front seats in Chestnut and retrim dash in black leather
BergvillFX headlights and tail lights conversion
Ohlins shocks and whatever else needs done there.
Sports Cat/Backboxes or possible custom exhaust if I do the following...
Top end engine rebuild, rework heads and live remap to 325-340ish bhp which I'm assured by Richard Chamberlain is relatively straightforward without stressing the engine too hard.
Do the rod bolts at the same time for belt and braces approach.
I'm down to either CTR or Unit 11 on the above as costs not looking too terrifying.
If I do this I will get a Quaife LSD (or similar) fitted. Maybe the OEM Porsche diff. I would also go with the Turbo brakes if I go down this route.
I appreciate that there are other less expensive ways to go and that others are very happy with the remap and sports cat route to 300bhp. I may still go that way but probably not! This car is a keeper for me and I'm planning on putting 100,000 miles on it if I can!
I might eventually look at some weight saving (aside from wheels and exhaust which will be covered) but I want to keep the interior civilized and touring friendly. I suppose this could be looking at the door skins/bonnet but probably not TBH. i won't be going down lightweight fly wheel or short shift kit for the same reason.
