Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

That's exactly my point...I mean surely there can't be many 996 owners who would fool themselves (and others) into thinking they have got a half price 997 just by changing the nose......I just can't see the point.

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.

Take a look at this if you will: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Porsche-996-Boxster-Front-Facelift-997-JACQUEMOND_W0QQitemZ270108724310QQihZ017QQcategoryZ72207QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Why turn a 996 into something it isn't? I can't think of a faster way to depreciate your car....any thoughts from you guys? :? ~ Maxie Migration info. Legacy thread was 133447

POST 2Original post

People would certainly be asking - why did you do that? But horses for courses, a cheap way to get into a 997. Migration info. Legacy thread was 133452

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That's exactly my point...I mean surely there can't be many 996 owners who would fool themselves (and others) into thinking they have got a half price 997 just by changing the nose......I just can't see the point. After all, I have yet to see a kit offered for a 993 where owners can have a 996 look - I mean I just don't think it would happen. ~ Maxie Migration info. Legacy thread was 133457

POST 4Original post

Don't reckon its such a bad idea, espec given how cheap the early 996s are coming down to now - pick up a duff colour in the early 20s, £2k for this kit, another £2k to fit and spray and you'll have a nice-ish looking 997 for about £25k. As long as you don't mind losing the £5k on the kit and the painting, don't think it will devalue the car any more than it would ordinarily, espec if you kept it a few years. Before I got mine I was looking at doing a facelift on an early 996 if I could find a reasonable Cat-D - I reckon this idea is as feasible. My 2p obviously Migration info. Legacy thread was 133458

POST 6Original post

Hi, A well known Porsche Specialist had a C4 which had a full Turbo body put on it. Apparently cost circa £20,000. It was a nice looking car but why????? Alan Migration info. Legacy thread was 133567

POST 7Original post
