Hi all, I am just about to place an order for my 2002 996 in the UK.I am not sure whether to go for basalt black and black leather sports seats, with carbon fibre dash, red seat belts and red brake calipers (expensive), to be displayed thru the 18 inch wheels. Or....Polar silver with black and polar interior(Perhaps more conservative!) P.S. Does any body know if the turbo look wheels as an option for 2002, are like those of the 993T or 996T? My Audi RS4 is making way for another sensible supercar!

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.

What's been referred to as "Turbolook" is the style of the 993 Turbo's wheels. The 996 Turbo has a different design which is not available on any other model yet. The Turbolook wheels have been removed from the US 2002 order guides. Perhaps, they are still available in the UK? Turbolook wheel: 996 Turbo wheel:
Thanks Viken, it's all very confusing! The UK model spec list for my 2002 gives 18 inch 'turbo look' wheel as option code 413 and neither my dealer (who btw are very good) or Porsche UK are able to confirm the exact style of wheel...Rich
Yes, 413 has always been the Turbolook wheel as pictured above. If it is on your order guide, chances are you can get it. However, consider option 411 instead. It is the 5-spoke wheel on the right. Supposedly, a very lightweight wheel compared with the others.
The new 18 inch wheel will be my choice if the new turbo wheel is unavailable..BTW have option prices dropped in the US for 2002, or just for the UK?
US 2002 prices are not released yet. However, I doubt that they will be reduced. At best, they'll remain the same as 2001.
Yeah, PCNA is unlikely to lower prices. It would be nice if they did, though. They'd still be making money, maybe even more of it. The US Dollar buys 8% more Deutsche Marks now than it did a year ago, and 15% more than at the beginning of 2000.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
