Can I just buy your car? Outstanding in every way.

Well, if you were in the UK, then still no. Ha! But thank you for the kind words.

Guys, I've got all of the LED's and equipment to perform a whole amber to white conversion in the cabin (gauges, switches, etc). I've done it to previous cars, and am thinking of doing it to this one too as it would match the newer models, as they're all white. Here's what it would look like (quick photoshop):



Thoughts?

I'm torn, but given the modernising approach that you've taken all over the car, I'd say that this change would be in harmony with that general approach.

Perhaps I'm hesitant as my Porsche is the only Euro car that I've had and the orange colour theme I associate with Euro cars and their premium image.

Totally understand with your side of the argument, I wouldn't want to change it either if that was the fact!

I think I'll end up doing it, it would modernise it to no extent. Given all of the changes after I do it, it'll be hard to see that I bought the car for just £7,500 (about $10,000).
