Hi all,

Just registered and thought I'd better introduce myself.

I've recently bought a beautiful 996 C2 manual in Zenith Blue with factory GT3 kit after a month or so searching. I got a bit of a bargain as prices have shot up a bit since then and I've been offered more than I paid but what else would I buy (apart from a turbo which is my plan for next year :))

Pics attached and looked forward to being an active member.

Cheers,

Phil

Hi Phil

Welcome to the forum, Zenith really suits the GT3 look.

Thanks :)

Tempted to get some GT3 wheels to complete the 'look' as I'll need tyres soon anyway.

GT3 centre console delete also on the way to lose the tape storage :)

Cheers,

Phil

Welcome to TIPEC. That 996 looks immaculate and I'm a fan of the colour. Look forward to meeting you both at events in future!

Hi and welcome.

Good bunch in here, so you'll enjoy it. Hopefully get to see THAT car in the flesh.

Enjoy the ride.

Phil, if Nige & Pat roll upthen it'll pair with theirs. They have a 02 996 in Rainforest with GT3 Aerokit!

Cool, just fitted the GT3 centre console delete but the small piece of trim that goes in front of the gear lever gaiter was missing :angryfire:

Luckily someone has given me the part number and it's only £2 odd from Porsche though if the seller of the kit doesn't come up with it.

*Should* be able to make it Friday barring any emergencies, natural disasters etc. :)

Cheers,

Phil
