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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got the front end wrapped in paint protection film today and thought we would have a play around with losing some of the silver on the headlight units...what do you guys think? (washer caps still to refitted)

POST 2Original post

Now it looks more like a 997... :yuk: :grin: Look's OK actually, Johnny D had these fitted on his too :thumb:

POST 3Original post

The headlamps are my least favourite feature of the 996.2. I think what you've done looks great - well done

POST 4Original post

The headlamps of the 996.2 are my most favourite feature of the 996.2 (and Turbo); they make the 911 look modern and more interesting. 997s are the dullest-looking 911s to me (faux-historic, lazy design) in plain form. However, that's not a bad effort.

POST 5Original post

Always wondered why this is not a more common mod - the 996 is the only 911 that doesnt have the round headlights! Pop some daylight running lights on the lower bumper and job's a good'un

POST 6Original post

Defo :judge: I like 'different' :thumbs: And more the better for it IMHO :judge: :thumb:

POST 7Original post

Which bulb is it that is now under the vinyl - full beam/DRL/sidelight?

POST 8Original post

None of the above. It's the fog light. My own preference is the OEM look FWIW

POST 9Original post

I thought the same. Vinyl now covering the fog light so that's going to be an instant MOT fail and pull from plod too no? having your front number plate is only going to raise their interest too. don't take it to wales as they are taking no prisoners there with no front plates...even if on the windscreen! I do like the 996 lights and they have grown on me a lot and its different. mk2 ones I prefer to the MK1.

POST 10Original post

I don't think front fogs is a requirement under C&U. If present they may(?) have to work though. Rear fog is compulsory & must work. I very much doubt plod would be interested in the slightest tbh.

POST 11Original post

I like it but I prefer the standard look. Individuality is great though. That's a great looking car. I'm not usually a cabriolet type of guy, but I must admit to feeling "want" when I look at that pic. :thumb:

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Fear not about the reg plate, that was removed temporarily, so we could wrap the new bumper.

POST 13Original post

Did you DIY wrap the car? Am considering it in the future - 'how hard can it be"?

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Give Jason a call here and he has the patterns to CNC cut the film for the paint protection film and the headlight mod. He has wrapped both my cars and is a "car guy" https://www.signsandprinting.co.uk/ BTW and an FYI, Deleting the front fogs is ok as the car is pre 2010.

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Front end all finished off now and was at a car show over the weekend where this pic was taken. Also for those who are concerned about my sanity, it is a "show" plate and a BS plate is on the car when on the road!
