Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Looks good to me. Is there a 993 to 964 backdate kit for aircooled? That would be perfect for me. MC

Got to take your hat off to the sheer amount of work in that 996, plus the degree to which it is executed.
POST 4Original post
I think we've had a thread on this before? I'll post this again anyway. :wink: The rear overhang reminds me of this = It's not for me. Looks wrong from pretty much every angle. :nooo: Unfortunately there's only one way of getting the retro look. Buy the old car.

I like the basic shape, not sure about the retro front and rear. To me the great thing about the 996 was that it looked forward, not back.
POST 6Original post
love the front , dont like the rear so much seems a bit off in some way. how about one of these options :grin: :grin: :grin:

Looks like FZP started that.....must be your age T8. I was gonna tag it on to that thread but my post was more about this new article on these guys in Spain rather than discussing retro conversions :wink:

Front Rear :sad: Bit like a seeing a Kronenberg walking down the street :grin: :thumb:

The level of craftsmanship that looks to have gone into it look pretty impressive, but it just doesn't look right. The rear overhang seems huge and front ahead of the lights looks somewhat deformed. I quite dislike singer-style spoilers too. The wide arches look great to me though. The channeled bonnet is also super cool, wonder if one could be made for a relatively standard 996...

It's a 'nein' from me
POST 15Original post
I like it a lot, except for the overhangs I reckon 20 or 21" wheels (with the necessary bigger arches) would fix that, or at least go a long way to improving the looks Doesn't anyone here do Photoshop? :grin:
