    Re: 997 facelift

    anytime..maybe i can make some better shots today on the way home...
    i could clearly see that there is no red stripe underneath the tape. the little reflectors next to the lights are in place because they have a sticker with the old shaped rear lights on top of the new ones and therefore no reflection possible. only the led shines through it from the inside... i have not seen a c4S yet. rumors say it will become the red reflection band or stripe again. lets wait and see...
    the lot is full of facelifts, thats for sure...

    Yes, it is. So, AB broke the embargo since you can buy this issue in Germany from today(in the afternoon)...

    So we have an official picture of the front. I remember 'someone' posted the official pictures of the 997 after the embargo was broken by someone else...

    Does anyone know if on the back bumper if the two "squares" on either side of the L plate area have been removed?

    Thanks for the post
    It looks as expected after all these disguised/spy/PS photos.
    Any rear views? The rear was more difficult to fathom from disguised cars.

    Couldn't get AB on newstands in Germany today. They are usually distributed one day in advance at railway stations, not so this time. At least not around here...
