Essential, from memory, (or not) did you find the white car through Bristol OPC? I may be confused with another car, but they had a period of stocking a few quality air cooled cars among the usual OPC detrius. [
First time round I did look at it when it was at opc Bristol. Had big spoilers on it then, Chris Harris did a write up on the car which I have somewhere. Will try and post the report. This was at the same time as they had a small spoiler speed yellow car with even lower miles (ex Isle of Man car I think) but had no air con.
I eventually bought the car via SCOMalton, who I have to say lived up to their word. The car had a few minor issues once I took delivery but they had all these sorted very quickly and didn't even quibble over any of them.

I first saw the car driven an anger by William (the then owner) at a Croft track day organised by SCoM.
Amazingly,much of their secondhand stock was also there to experience (drive !) --- now how cool is that !!
Unfortunately the Croft days are no longer due to a family feud and leveraged noise "issues" ...
So, not only a great car, but a driven car as well [

Very interesting.
I have a Clubsport spoiler set tho not fitted to my development car --- mine have the correct metallised label but not the first rivetted in plate.
I have kept these as a set with the car and also the Speedlines plus a set of Speedline mag wheels --- both centre lock and five stud, because this was some of the testing for which the prototype was used. Even a set of SO2 tyres.
The wheels used for running around are the Fixse's that the car is always seen on --- low maintenance anodised forged alloys that were built for a 993RS.
In my mind keeping this as a "heritage" set makes sense --- but Mike's experience is contrary to this ---

What you say above is perfect for your car.
The white car was supplied new with small spoilers and that's how I and Mike Cooper liked the car, as it left the factory, Mike even changed the white dials back to standard black. He checked first that the white ones were added, maybe at the same time as the CS spoilers?
Only reason I sold the spoilers separate was that in my view they made no difference to the price of the car having second set and would rather have the extra few £k in my pocket than someone else's
Had I kept the car I would possibly have also kept the extra CS kit.
