R18 are involved in the filming.
Cheeky monkeys never asked me though [][][]
To be fair, they were asked to provide different coloured 911s and I haven't got one!

Haha, but at least he didn't muddle it with "verycam" as per water-cooled variants !!
You're right, £3k completely mis-spent as the system's rendered non-adjustable due to the vehicle type so will just end up left in the same setting all the while.
Reckon they should have saved a packet on the suspension and fitted the static type then gone further in the lights dept, eg Xenons + LEDs, for greater useable benefit / more up to date.
Maybe the chap who bought it will do. Maybe he's on here and he'll tell us himself[:-]

Being in the public eye on such shows however would have made life tricky for them doing Xenon conversions, since they are now almost certainly deemed an MOT failure with the recent MOT changes (amongst many). Bulbs are a good point they raise (on my daily, I had a cheapo bulb blow in less than 30 minutes. Sods law I had a policeman with nothing better to do approach me at that very moment. Lesson learned).
Do 993s come with adjustable suspension from the off?
It certainly was one of their better efforts out of some their cars mind you

Sorry but retro HID's arent an MOT failure, I have an official responce from the department of transport confirming it, so no worries there, seems to be a rumour thats been circulating for a while.ORIGINAL: ChasR

Found this on the AA website regarding HIDs and MOT
Headlight requirements are updated to take account of the particular characteristics of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps.
HID headlights can cause dazzle if they are dirty or aimed too high, so they are generally (if light output exceeds 2000 lumens) fitted in conjunction with headlamp cleaning and levelling systems. Where HID or LED dipped beam headlamps are fitted the tester will switch on the headlamps and check the operation of any headlamp levelling and cleaning devices fitted.
The car will fail if a headlamp levelling or cleaning device is inoperative or otherwise obviously defective.
If a headlamp bulb is not seated correctly the resulting beam pattern will be indistinct and this will result in a test fail.
It doesn't say that a self levelling or cleaning device has to be fitted, only that they must work if fitted. (That has corrected my thoughts on the subject!)
Cheers,

Beam pattern though in terms of length of horizontal reach outward from the car isn't part of the MOT of course, so no problem at all.
Beam pattern in the vertical plane upward from the road / floor is in the MOT and is exactly the same with HIDs or halogens as it's the same reflector doing the work for both, so no problem at all.
And as said in many other threads on this, 993s are specced up from the factory to take HIDs, ie have the headlamp wash and levelling fitted as standard, so no problem at all.
In short, no difficulties when it comes to MOT, so a no-brainer on the question of retro-fitting them.
