bensaunders Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hi, As I mentioned in a previous topic, I have just bought a 981 2.7 in red... and love it. However, I'n not convinced by the red slats across the air intakes at the front. I am going to book the car in to have PPF and may ask them to wrap them in black. Anyone got any thoughts on this.. red or black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennym1984 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I agree with you - Black will look a lot nicer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Agree 100%, they are ugly and I have pondered doing away with them altogether and covering with the mesh like I have done here. https://youtu.be/2jFXBv7CG98 This time I might try taking them off and applying the mesh in front rather than behind.

RickLS7 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 They are black on the S, think you can pay extra if you wanted them body colour: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS2 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I entirely respect the opinions of the posters here...but you’re all wrong! The red intakes look different and cool. Very ...959? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey P Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I like the red as well, so it looks like a split decision so far... Not sure about the split colour on the mirrors though, what's the point of that? Better all in one colour I reckon - But then again, what do I know, I drive a Cayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickH Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Deffo black for me, looks more aggressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 The black does provide continuity with the side intakes and the lower half wing mirrors. The red does look like a bit of an after thought. What color street the roll bars under the roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done the mesh inserts as per daz05 video above and very happy with result. Bit of a fiddle to get mesh behind the bars but I wrapped them in a cloth to save cuts to hands and scratches on car. I have not done the centre vent...........anyone done that? When are we getting next instalment daz05? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLS7 Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Just buy the Zunsport one as in my photo above, any other option would be pretty difficult unless the blank is removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 enhancement projects ongoing which I am very eager to share, one of them has me acting like a kid at Christmas I am 75% through that video and about 25% through the other. Family life and my day job take me away from it, so I do these as a hobby when I have spare capacity and i'm not out actually driving the thing!

bensaunders Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Thanks all! I have just ordered a set of genuine fins from 911 Design and will then have black and red ones. I rally think black is more aggressive, but it will be good to have the option to go back if I'm unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're using a drone and GoPros. What editing software do you work with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightymetro Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I always think that the black ones make it look more fitting with the VW family but the red adds a bit of flair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Editing can be laborious, especially if the software is cumbersome. I'm looking forward to your upcoming films, you work well in vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev73 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Black! you boxster guys are lucky with the strip DRL's , Ive got a cayman with the hideous round DRL's that look so 90's , wish I had a boxster front bumper or a cayman GTS front bumper, by the way I painted my grilles satin black which do look better than the body colour ,but I still hate the round lights !

Thanks I'll look into it, the editing side is definitely taking too long and I find it challenging to add effects so an improvement in that area would be great.
