When I bought my '99, it had black script and a letter was broken a bit so I ordered a matte silver script and used dental floss to carve the old one off.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Going through receipts for my 1999 C2, I noticed the previous owner purchased the Carrera lettering Part #: 996-559-237-06-70C a few years after the car was delivered. There is no repair receipts though, so Im wondering if was blank upon delivery. My car has this Carrera script on the rear lid and I've always thought that this was factory. Is it possible the 99 996 came with no rear script, unless optioned? On my window sticker, there is no mention of a delete or option.

POST 2Original post

More likely it was broken in a car wash and replaced

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 15366282

That makes perfect sense. Thanks!

POST 4Original post

I broke mine when hand washing and drying the car. Towel snagged on the C and broke off. Ordered replacement and installed. All good.

POST 5Original post

It's not uncommon for owners to remove the rear emblems to give it a "logo delete" look. The last owner probably wanted to put it back to factory. Question - Did the previous owner attach it to the upper or lower section on the rear deck lid?

POST 6Original post

The final "a" on my script is also broken and I'm debating on deleting, replacing or going with the Millenium/40th "911" script. IIRC, the 911 script is $$$ lol

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 15366683

It's on the lower. Is that factory? I really need to pony up for the 996 book.

POST 9Original post

Quotes source post: 15366945

For the mk1 cars like yours, factory was upper position for the "Carrera" rear emblem.

$40.74 from Sonnen a few months ago.

POST 12Original post

I think I paid about $50 for my silver Carrera badge. I was thinking I'd replace the black original that gets lost on my Lapis Blue car but...can't quite bring myself to this "customization" yet!

POST 13Original post

Quotes source post: 15367211

The "C" was broken off when the previous owner had mine. He just took it off completely. I bought a silver badge recently to put back on. I think it will look good on my black car. I also paid around $50.

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 15367162

Wow that's a good price.

POST 15Original post

Quotes source post: 15366871

Be glad the "C" wasn't broken off instead or you would have been wrong or an "arrera".

POST 19Original post

Or the Letters - P-O-R-S-C-H-E, Personally not a big fan of 991 or newer P cars Logo's, too busy.

POST 20Original post

Anyone with a MK1 Carrera with a script color other than black? My car is dark blue and you can hardly see the Carrera name. I'm wondering if it would look better in silver. White might be too much.

POST 21Original post

when mine broke , I thought blackcarrera script on a dark car was pointless so I went with the polished aluminium letters

My mk1 Ocean Blue Metallic had black script. I switched to silver and it looks much better to me. Sorry I don't have before and after pics from the same perspective, or the same lighting, but the pics below give a rough idea of the difference. My old 2001 (mk1) Lapis Blue Carrera 4 came with silver "Carrera 4" script, not black like on the 2000, so I'm not sure what logic Porsche used to pick script color. After having the 2001 in silver, the 2000 never looked right to me in black, so I had to switch. Being a bit of an originality freak, I've saved the original black script. Silver : Black

POST 24Original post

My old 2001 Lapis Blue Carrera 4 with factory silver "Carrera 4" script ...

POST 25Original post

Thanks, peter, that looks great. I'll change my black badge to silver this winter on my lapis blue cab!

POST 26Original post

At some point I'm going to remove this, and have it airbrushed to look similar. Couple of friends have their Hot Rod Nomad and 63 split window done in paint, pretty cool.

POST 27Original post

Anyone know a good source for the Carrera in silver?

POST 28Original post

Dealer, find a model/year with silver and order it locally, w PCA discount it will cover shipping and tax possibly, If not eBay is where I found mine.

If by 'silver' you mean chrome, it's part #996559237104PU and seems to be available everywhere. https://www.google.com/search?q=pors...w=1366&bih=626 It looks like Sonnen is the the cheapest though. https://www.sonnenporscheoemparts.co...996559237104pu

POST 30Original post

Those are actually Silver, Chrome is later models if not mistaken. 911 comes in chrome as does 996

POST 31Original post

Gold "Carrera" over black car.

I too have been lured into this decision. The silver looks really nice on the blue.

Hmmm, I have to go through my parts box, I always take the script off...I LIKE the clean look, this car is new to me and the script will be removed, ..I must have a few around... Mine is Black on a Basalt black car...(If I wasn't tech challenged I'd post a pic)

POST 37Original post

The script is on the lower portion of the lid on my 2003.

POST 38Original post

There was a logo delete option that left it blank from the factory

POST 39Original post

Mine is black with a black Carrera logo. Not sure why they even bothered?

POST 40Original post

Just replaced mine with a silver one, somehow one of the letters was cracked. It had a ton of polish and dried wax so I polished behind it and installed a new one,

POST 41Original post

I've wondered bout that too. I did remember seeing that you could order the new Camaro with "ghost stripes" which meant they were the same color as the car but in matte finish. Interesting indeed.
