ATM Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Mine is BNIB but I'm thinking about a change of colour before I use it. Silver might look a bit off against the Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phazed Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 The whole thing seems illogical on a sports car, (although I did carry 10 bags of fertiliser from a farm during lockdown in my 987). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATM Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 16 hours ago, ½cwt said: Are they painted or anodised? Good question. Hard to say. Adding some pics. Let me know if anyone wants more. There are also the 2 cross bars but they are less interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly why I want it. Totally illogical which is what makes it brilliant. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 That's all paint/powdered coating. Easy to get powder coating stripped and re-coat in the colour you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my wheel guy does powder coating. But only from a limited selection of options or colour palette. I mean it will look off in bright silver won't it. So maybe something simple like matt black would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They retain their value as original, a custom colour, even black might not have the same appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, I'm afraid Though I'd say they've probably been a good investment for anyone that bought them at list price: From the Model Year 2000 price list (prices as at 1.5.2000): Roof Transport System: £347 (Hardtop: £1,960 incidentally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change 'value' to 'desirability' then... but £347 on the options list for that much metal from Porsche was a bargain!!

I'd agree - and as a comparison, it was exactly the same amount just to have the 986 roll bars painted in body colour (which I did ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's looking at their prices for stuff today. I think an indicator stalk is similar money. Was it the speedster humps? I've got 4k in my head from somewhere, hopefully. No idea where.

It made the RTS a positive bargain! I think the reduction might have been connected with the realignment of UK/mainland European prices to counter the growing trend to import cars from Europe, which I remember took effect sometime after I bought my 2001 S unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
