    Gents, this car is ready to go. No camouflage execept for the sticker over the new LED-indicators.
    If you ask me, we will see the 997 facelift in spring 2008 at the latest, if not even earlier.

    Rossi, that's also what I think, following a conversation with OPC in UK.

    Hi!

    I'm starting to get curious about the date of release of the Mk II. Right now I start to beleave that it will come with the MJ '09 in Oct./Nov. 2008.

    All indications (unfounded rumors, supplier and dealer info etc) show a release as MY09 in March 08. Basically the same rollout as for the Cayenne this year.

    totally correct, went to the OPC GB headquarters in Reading today and was told that definitely MY09. With regards to the changes all they know is the new DFI and that's it.

    too big, would be better if they use the turbo style LED's, just a thought.

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    I am under the impression that the directionals are LED's, just like with the turbo, only integrated into the foglight assembly, and that the foglights are normal bulbs like in the mk1 997.

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    the turbo has a gap between the bumper mould and the actual lights, but based on the pictures seen for the facelift there isn't this gap between the light and bumper, I might be wrong.

    Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!

    True, but I meant it had the same TECHNOLOGY. Only directionals are leds, the rest of the foglight assembly is normal lights. The SHAPE can only be seen vaguely through the cammo, but it looks like it is quite similar to the boxster look: Foglight assembly in the top of the inlet, wheras the mk1 has them above the inlet, and the turbo halfway the inlet.

    Pity

    We can't have the mechanical improvements, like DFI or PDK, and possibly PTM for the 4's, without having the poorly designed facelift changes. That car looks more a copy of every other design on the market by the minute.

    Is the color perhaps 'Ocean Blue' as Midnight Blue seems darker?

    good catch! I think this is a new engine in the old body. Those tips are different than the PSE

    This is the new rear valance we've seen on the facelift cars. Check out all the previous spy shots for confirmation of that. Doesn't mean the engine's changed at all.

    The car on the left is the present rear valance and taillights.
