What a nice little project and it's unique, But looking over the pictures one thing strikes me ? You have for asthetic reasons had the side repeaters filled and deleted from the front wings and it cleans up the look of the car from the side nicely, but for a car or this age that is not legal from an MOT point of view or construction and use regulations (you must if standing one meter adjacent to the rear of the car be able to see the front indicator flashing.this can be achieved by a wrap around design at the front or by having a wing repeater),so you must have a friendly mot tester on your books!
Steve, thanks for your observation. Before carrying out the modification, 9M checked with their local MOT test station.
The design of 993 wrap around front indicator conformed with regulations and so allowed us to dispense with them.
No favours or bending of the rules required!

Wheels - wheels - wheels.
Though my standard Turbo Twist wheels have been fully refurbished and look immaculate, I'd always lusted after the Fuchs type wheels, and looked at the Kersher type aftermarket; then Porsche went and released the latest 19" Fuchs as fitted on the Sport Classic.
I tried some other 19" OEM wheels but having seen pictures of the US Guards Red 993 Speedster there was only one set of rims calling and and tempting me to spend yet more £ on my car. After some fettling and tweeks last week over at 9M, I collected my car yesterday morning and went to my local OPC where they had brought in a set of the new Fuchs wheels in for me to try!
Well, they fitted, no modifications, no arch rolling required, and no rub! This is also helped by, at my request to 9M, that the car isn't running too low (Euro RS height - there or there about).
So now we have the latest incarnation!

Car looked great today in the sunlight Graham, I think colour-coded would be too much myself.
Absolute perfection!
You must be a very proud man Graham.

Thanks guys for all the positives!
I do intend to go to the Porsche & Polo meet - all these separate events seem to divide & segregate the club. Just slightly wary about a 'puck' being lauched off the Polo pitch - and I would never trust horses/ponies. I hope the weather perks up, and as for this hottest 'Summer on record', I came back from holiday last week, and it's not stopped raining since! Hardly Speedster weather[&:]

Sorry - I missed your request for info until just now?
1) Wheels fitted straight on with no spacers, no arch rolling - just out of the box and on!
2) No change to ride quality. The car is on KW suspension and is on a fairly soft setting anyway and not too low.
3) No quirks - just had to re-paint my nuts!
Porsch-apart have a set on ebay for sale - but I managed to get a better deal from my local OPC (maybe because I've spent a few £'s over the last year!)
