Speedline wheels & Cargraphic spoiler - thoughts on changing?

I need to change my current spoiler back to the original (just a personal choice), and am also considering swapping my speedlines for replicas.

Current spoiler: Its a Cargraphic part, designed for the 993 but it does fit a 964. Its the top one here: http://www.cargraphic.de/index.php?/s,6,7,18,712,1113/&start=9 , part number NP93060GFK, listed as EUR 1,020. Its painted guards red, in good condition with no visible marks/scratches. Anyone got a rough idea of where I should price this?

Wheels: The car has aftermarket speedlines (ie they are made by speedline but were not supplied with the car, so do not have the etching on them). For a few reasons (mostly cos car parked on the street) I am thinking of selling them and getting replicas. The wheels were refurbished 4 weeks ago, so are completely as new. They have brand new P-zero's on them which have done c.100miles. Porscheshop.co.uk have a set in stock which they are selling for £2,400 (I assume excl. VAT). Anyone got a rough idea of where I should price my set (including tyres)?

PWS Veloce replicas are c.£770, so I'm hoping there could be quite a cash inflow for me, which would go on various mods/upgrades. I dont mind having replicas vs original speedlines - I hope that doesn't make me a pleb! Thoughts on that?

Thanks, Josh

PS - they guy I bought it from has a spare set of newly refurbished Cargraphic Racing 18" wheels he would let me have for £1,500. I declined as I am not a big fan of cleaning wheels and they look like a nightmare!
PPS - I am posting on here and 911uk. Lots of people have recommended rennlist - should I just post questions there so as to avoid having to double post?
 
For a few reasons (mostly cos car parked on the street)...........

Crikey Josh how will you sleep at night!!!!!![&:] A good move changing that spoiler back to original spec, those bi-plane rear decks don't suit these turbos IMO.

Definately makes sense changing the Speedlines, especially if they are mint as you say. They are so valuable and if the car is on the street!! Not to mention the troubles they cause with the reaction between the different metals and corrosion, a set of Veloces will look just as good to the untrained eye and no problem with the corrosion and money in your pocket to boot, a no brainer mate [;)]

How are you finding the performance? Did you have a 911 before this beauty?
 
I know, the street isnt ideal. I have a cover (with a lock) as a temporary measure and am looking for a garage. My car is by no means the most expensive on the street, but I think the speedlines and the teardrop mirrors are attractive.

Performance: I had a 996 C2 Cab. The 964T is a whole new world. Turbo is ridiculous when it kicks in (I have the bigger turbo), car feels more solid/heavier but also more powerful with the turbo going. I've only done 100miles but I'm loving it to bits. I bought it purely for the looks, but I also wanted something more engaging than my 996C2 (which I loved), and I certainly got it!

Anyone have a view on value of the speedlines and/or spoiler? I would rather post them for sale here before ebay, but its hard to do price discovery on here, so I might sell myself short, or price them too high, both of which would be annoying.
 
Thanks Steve - I actually found one on ebay last week (Item number:310162383466) and bought it asap as I figured original ones probably dont come up too often (2 in 2 weeks on ebay...!). Once I get it sprayed (black spoiler on red car might not look great...) I will sell the cargraphic one (which I have learned is Cargraphic's copy of a 993 Turbo S spoiler).

Thanks again, Josh
