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.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

1998 C2 Coupe in Ocean Blue Should I keep the ambers or bow to the fashionistas and spend £500 plus on clear upgrades? It's just the headlights as the sides and rears look like they have been upgraded What's the consensus on stock vs upgrade on a 1998? _____________________________ 1991 Grand Prix White C2 Cab Tip - sadly sold

POST 2Original post

Why don't you become the trend setter, and resist the temptation to ditch the ambers? If you don't mind them, why spend £500 to make it more appealing to others? Nothing wrong with them, IMO.

POST 3Original post

I personally think ambers look great with blue. Russ

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok ambers it is then...£500 on some fettling instead thanks all take a look I think it looks cool http://www.classicandsportscar.com/classifieds/classic-cars/porsche/911-carrera-996/porsche-911-996-carrera-----------------1998/4013257

POST 5Original post

I think it looks good too: Those exhaust tip in the advert look a bit wonky, or maybe it is just the photo.

POST 7Original post

Been contemplating the same for the last 4 years. When it comes down to it, the replacement costs, even second hand, are ridiculous. Amber still on mine.

POST 8Original post

Maybe not related to this post but can anyone tell me why the Brookspeed 996 is so cheap, even given the mileage ??

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I nearly bought that car, I had put a deposit down subject to some work being done and final test drive. There was a fuel rail issue and some other things I was told were minor When I went for a final test drive, there were still a number of leaks and the car had an engine light and a very rough idle, so didn't drive it again I decided to pull out and ive now bought something different. I think it has been sold again
