This might seem a strange question, but I've never seen a 996 C4S that didn't have a red stripe. Went to look at this one today (local) and aside from it being in terrible condition, it occurred to me it was missing the red stripe! https://www.pistonheads.com/classif...s/2002-02-porsche-996-3-6-c-4-s-coupe/9522136 Has someone sprayed the callipers and put an S on a C4?!?

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.
15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

That's just a standard Carrera.
This is a C4s:
Thanks Alex. That's what I thought... I just had a 5% niggle that maybe there was some early version that was different. Poor dealer - he probably doesn't realise.
...and over valued !
...looked tatty too...
Yeah I'd value that around £14-£15k.
Someone's paid a few quid to add an S to their rear badge. I wonder if the dealer paid over the odds by not knowing his Porsches. :?: Well done for not getting suckered 'heed'. :thumb:
Just emailed dealer stating simply...Not a C4S. Not holding my breath for a reply.... Did anyone see the Facebook doosh that posted a pic of a C4 recently with the caption 'loving my C4S' He got roasted
Thanks Alex for posting those pics, just to remind us what a great looking car the 4S is! :cloud9:
Apart from the obvious (to us) external differences it doesnt take much effort to see if the front wheels have a drive shaft going to them! Ian
The C4 and the C4S both have this. MC
:floor: :thumb:
Am I right in thinking the 996.1 C4 was a narrow bodied car? Like PPBB's 300k miler!
Yes. Both gen 1 & 2 C4 were narrow bodied.
