Any other easy mod suggestions for a beginner will be very much welcomed!
Welcome! That's a very nice and clean looking car you have there. Painted calipers will make the car look much better, even though it's just look, like you said. I painted mine yellow.

My first two mods after I got my car were HID Projector retrofit and aftermarket headunit (with Bluetooth, of course).

Also, I don't know if anyone can advise or not, but I have been looking at new alloys, as I'm not a huge huge fan of the Sport Classics - don't get me wrong, they're in excellent condition so am not looking to replace these straight away - but am looking at the following and just wanted to know if these could be quite easily put on the car and whether they would also need any spacers etc:

18" Style 1054 Alloy wheels for Porsche Cars - 1054018 | Design 911


If anyone has anything similar on theirs I'd love to see some photos just to actually see them on a 986!
