Attended VMax yesterday - basically a massive Porkfest with some stunning machinery. thumbup

Based on the machinery present it's obvious that my Pork is way 'too standard' and its time for some mods. Slippery slope I know but it has to be done...

Based on Flying T's 997 exhaust note I'll be fitting a Tubi asap and maybe having a proper chat with DMS for some mild engine remaps (daily commuter so don't want anything too heavy).

On the exterior thinking of something very subtle but enough to make it a bit different. I'm thinking of keeping my 19in Carrera S wheels but having them painted black, some custom exhaust tips to go with the Tubi, a very subtle rear wing (techart job), back 'Carrera S' badge in black.

Thoughts?

Also, does anyone have a pic of a 997C2S with black Carrera S wheels (can't find one anywhere and the Porsche configurator doesn't have this option).

Cheers - Erik

Cheers Yorkie. Looks great.

Anyone know where I could get my wheels painted black and what the cost would be?

Why black? What about something a bit more aggressive and paint them orange or viper green? Would lookt tasty with your silver car. BTW: is that regular silver or GT?

The car is Arctic Silver with a blue leather interior so I thought matching dark blue wheels might look a bit special. Either that or black.

Just need to see pic of a silver 997 with black or blue Carrera S wheels to make sure I'm not making a mistake.

I use the car as a daily commuter so I think orange/green might be a tad unsubtle... Sounds good though!!
