I have sent the Transsyberian livery patterns to a place I have used previously.

I decided against the BF Goodrich All Terrains as used on the factory cars due to the fact my car will be mainly road based and the rough ride BFs would give on the blacktop, though will plan to do some cruisey offroad work later

I will be mounting them slightly differently to the original; I want them slightly lower so that I can still use the roof rack and not foul the lights.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Hi All,
After a farily lengthy search, I have found a 955 2005 Cayenne S 4.5L V8.
Car has full service history, only 118,000kms and is in pretty great shape inside and out.
Though techincally the wrong model being an earlier 955, I am building a Transsyberian tribute.
I have removed the 22" GTS/S/Turbo rims which have near brand new tyres on them and am selling these- please see PFA For Sale Section if interested in the rims
I located a set of 18" rims as per the correct pattern used on the original Transsyberian (which was no easy task!), and had them shod in Cooper ATTs in 255/55 R18 yesterday (haven't had a chance to take a photo yet). I decided against the BF Goodrich All Terrains as used on the factory cars due to the fact my car will be mainly road based and the rough ride BFs would give on the blacktop, though will plan to do some cruisey offroad work later
. To get a similar effect as the BFs, I have found a tyre place in the US that make raised white letters that vulcanise to the tyre wall produced from a tracing of the non-raised lettering on my tyres- I will send the pattern to them this week!
I have sourced an OEM Roof Carrier System and the period correct Hella FF300 driving lights x 4; a friend is currently making 4x brackets to attach them to the front roof rack. I will be mounting them slightly differently to the original; I want them slightly lower so that I can still use the roof rack and not foul the lights.
I have sent the Transsyberian livery patterns to a place I have used previously. I am going to do the livery on silver and will wrap the silver elements around the side windows, bottom of the doors and below the rear window with black- this will be one of the next things done in the coming weeks....
Cheers
Craig
Hi All,
An update to my Cayenne Tribute thus far.
New rims and Cooper Tyres. I received my white rubber lettering as traced on my Cooper Tyres from the States and applied as per their YouTube instructions. I am happy to say it worked a treat
👍
I have also blacked out all of the silver and stainless steel side trims, plus the one under the rear window. This looks much better and more modern IMO
👍
Also had full paint detail, not a scratch on it
😎
Still working on the light bar to come next.
Only one photo taken in my garage at this stage unfortunately but it gives you the general idea, ahhh COVID...
😩
Cheers
Craig
I have been waiting for an update to this thread. Must say your Cayenne S looks the business with the wheels, tyre lettering and the blacked out trim.
Have you seen

I am starting to grow fond of the 955s and 957s.
Thanks for the update.
Dear Craig
Not a problem. I am seriously considering purchasing a 955 Cayenne S (with non-air suspension) with low kms (as a family car), and seeing your project and others gives me wonderful ideas.
The missus is less keen, but I am a little weird and like 955s and 957s (mainly for their mixture of off road and on road capabilities).
Regards Syd
