daz05 Posted June 25, 2022 Report Share Posted June 25, 2022 If your heart is set on painting it something very unique from the back catalogue would be quite nice, green is interesting and some x73 springs would compliment it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATM Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I had a little drive round today. Tyres feel good. Car drives absolutely fine. Definitely rides over bumps very well. I think the steering feels lighter but I can't be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose Continental Premium Contact 6 because they had a rear with 96 loading where as Michelin had just 100 loading in Pilot Sport 5.

ATM Posted July 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 @map was there a thread where we discussing a 986 which had been painted or jazzed up by a firm to promote their company - maybe an Australian firm? I've had a look through my activity going back 2 years and can't find it. I seem to remember it had split rim wheels with red centres - possibly different colours front and back and also some stripes on the front wings which went up onto the bonnet vertically instead of along the side horizontally. Anyway the point is didn't it have the windscreen surround painted black even though it was mainly silver? This car is going in for paint tomorrow and I'm toying with the idea of leaving the windscreen surround black. I quite like the way it will not stand out when roof is down and match with the roof when it's up / closed. Can you remember that thread? What do people think about a black windscreen surround?
