I will first start off by saying that I am somewhat biased against the colour of your car, in that I do not like yellow anything.


That being said, I think your car looks quite sharp, but I would go with black and silver wheels instead of yellow. IMHO, colour coded wheels (except on black or silver cars) make the car look... well... like it belongs to a 21 year old with more dollars than sense.

hi perry didn't realised you are in uk, who did your body conversion, have a turbo bumper from essential styling going on the S soon, was on my 2.5l before but needs mending before reinstalling.
wise thought, would hate to have same car, same house and same wife as any one else

Olly

the conversion parts were supplied by Essential and fitted by a bodyshop Simon uses in Reading.

Were coming over to Ireland next year for a few days so you'll have to look out of the yellow flash ;-) I think were staying near limmerick, but will be doing the sites all over

any pics of ther turbo front on your 2.5? if not you'll have to post some when it goes on the S

What a great looking car! I think I need to get in touch with Essential and get the front bumper and skirts....and keep saving for the read bumper!!

Don't worry though, my car is silver and I live about 300 miles away from you, so I don't think I'll be stealing your thunder!!!

If I were you though, I'd leave the wheels silver. If you paint the multi-spoke design a solid colour (like yellow or red) they tend to look like they're made of plastic for some reason. I've seen it done a few times. Maybe have a play around with photoshop on a PC and see what you think though.

Out of interest, is that a 2003 style spoiler you have fitted, and also a glass rear screen on your hood?

All the best

Paul

Differnent strokes for different folks...I really do not like painted wheels. But that is just me...the Porsche is yours and you should do whatever you think looks good.
