FlatSix Posted 30May, 2013 Report Share Posted 30May, 2013 Where did you get that number plate??? The PFA one??? I just photoshopped some text over my plate A real one would be cool for show display. Looking at that photo again I now know the next thing that needs my attention, that light strip should be red, not pink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 30May, 2013 Report Share Posted 30May, 2013 thanks T-Man looking at my black anodised door handles and everything, wondering if the chrome doesn't go with it and I should get my wheels changed i'm going to sort the targa roof and the few bits of black that need touching up over the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted 30May, 2013 Report Share Posted 30May, 2013 I think the wheel centres going black would really set things off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 30May, 2013 Report Share Posted 30May, 2013 I think the wheel centres going black would really set things off. My 2 cents... Leave the wheels polished. Too much black on a green car can really bring the whole thing down. A bit of bling in the wheels compliments the metallic green. Photoshop it first and see what you think.

withers Posted 30May, 2013 Report Share Posted 30May, 2013 I love the car, I think it's gorgeous Russ and it you ever wanted to sell it I'd want to know! That's how much I love it! However, I must say I'm not sure about the polished Fuchs. I definitely love the really retro 911 look, pre SC with cookie cutters and decal. No whale tails, narrow body etc I think your car is such an amazing color that having the polished wheels over does it? Opinions are like.... well you know! I'm sure if I saw her in person I might change my mind. I dunno. Fancy a really long drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted 31May, 2013 Report Share Posted 31May, 2013 Curiosity got the better of me. I had to see it with the black centres... Me too.... They both look great, the black ones look more modern though IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted 31May, 2013 Report Share Posted 31May, 2013 I just came from my cookie cutters, and the chrome is so shiney I dunno if I wanna take it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 31May, 2013 Report Share Posted 31May, 2013 russ maybe buy the chrome door handles in the FS section instead? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 31May, 2013 Author Report Share Posted 31May, 2013 I love it with black centres. looks 98.7% tougher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 31May, 2013 Report Share Posted 31May, 2013 I agree go the black centres - or try the polished door handles with the polished wheels. Don't worry Russ, we are all here to help empty your wallet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiX Posted 31May, 2013 Report Share Posted 31May, 2013 Replaced the kind of useless CD holder to a handy shelf today, took all of 2.6 seconds - happy with the outcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 31May, 2013 Report Share Posted 31May, 2013 Don't worry Russ, we are all here to help empty your wallet! It looks like you have 15x6's. You could always upgrade your old shiny wheels for a later SC set. The shopped image uses 6x16 & 7x16's which fill out the guards more. The black centres look better with a bit more dish in the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted 31May, 2013 Report Share Posted 31May, 2013 these are my upgrade wheels! the only difference in 15s and 16s are the lip around the outside (they're 16s) eventually I'll do the RSR 'polished metal' look to the spokes, but i'm happy the way they are now Uncle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben C3.o Posted 31May, 2013 Report Share Posted 31May, 2013 I really like the look of this one Russ but would change to black center caps also. As yours stands now she looks more like a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie944S Posted 1June, 2013 Report Share Posted 1June, 2013 Just installed my short shift linkage... this thing is amazing 30% reduction means you just flick your wrist to select a gear not your whole arm. I drove the car on both normal and 30% reduction and its tightened up the gear stick in the cab so much shifting into a gear feel like new. Did forget to put the rubber boot back on but it was all tatty anyway. Old linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doish13 Posted 1June, 2013 Report Share Posted 1June, 2013 Strange as I generally like the black centres however think the chrome looks right with that colour. You could keep as or plastidip the centres. If you don't like peel off and all for less than $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
