Awesome! Yellow suits the 991 very well.
997.2 Carrera S in Carrara White. PASM-Sport Suspension (-20 mm), PSE.
987.1 Boxster S in Arctic Silver. OZ Racing Ultraleggera Wheels, H&R Monotube Coil-Over Suspension, H&R Anti-Roll Bars, Sachs Racing Clutch, Single-Mass Flywheel, IPD Plenum, GT3 Throttle Body, Recaro Pole Position Seats, PSE, Alpine Head Unit and Amplifier, Focal Speakers
Great pictures of two amazing cars.
Good to see that black stone guards look good on the 991 as well. Also enjoyed seeing that you have black lower sections on your side mirrors. I'm thinking of doing the same thing on my white GTS, but I have to decide between doing either the lower or the (larger) upper sections in black.
How's the Ferrari project coming along?

You know how to make a car look amazing Iain, we're going to give you the title of "master configurator"
I'll second that...
I second too . You always configure our cars beautifully and with new trends. The yellow and black 991 looks stunning !!!

So what is exactly the difference between his side mirrors and standard ones?!! to me they look the same - black plastic is standard.
Beautiful cars there!

Yes, I see it does appear to be standard on the 991 (hadn't actually noticed this before). They weren't standard on the 997 of course.

It's been a lovely day here so I went off out to view the progress on my latest Ferrari restoration project. Before I left I took a few quick pics of my 991 C2S and our Cayman R which I thought may be of interest.
Pardon my ignorance, but what Ferrari are you restoring right now? I only remember the 911 that you intended to restore this year.
The yellow color on the C2S does stand out but I personally think that the car, in its regular state, looks too civilized. I honestly believe that for example the chin spoiler of the -20mm package would look more appropriate on this car.

Ferdie, I believe ISUK is having a second Dino restored.
Ferdie,
I've bought another two Dino's plus the old targa so my restoration projects are backing up
I'll put together a new thread on the progress made to date on my 2nd Dino in the Ferrari section.
I've just got back from visting my Porsche dealer and he has just bought an amazing 993 C2S that has had a full restoration with no nut, bolt or rubber left untouched. The solid black paintwork was done by the bodyshop that are doing my Dino and is fantastic. The attention to detail on the restoration of this car has to be seen to be believed. It looks like it has just rolled off the line at the factory and been delivered to the dealership. He intends to keep it a showroom display car. Anybody travelling near the Porsche Centre Silverstone (the dealership in Towcester not the Porsche Driving Experience Centre at the race circuit) should drop by and look at it if they have even a passing interest in the 993.

Thanks Iain,
that actually sounds pretty clever. As if you already made a business out of it.
In case you made some pictures of this particular 993, I guess nobody here minds seeing them.
Enmanuel,
The second Dino is a two owner car and was 100% original so has remained in it's original colour which is my favourite for a Dino. The new thread will reveal all when I get it sorted
Ferdie,
These old timers will be part of my slow release pension fund in 20-25 years time In the meantime I am going to drive them and enjoy every last £ I've invested in them

Given the times we are living in, this sounds cleverer then any conventional pension fund . Maybe I should look into it
