  • Here are all the latest upgrades with the new Front and rear lights, alloy wheel colour, and brake caliper changes.
    I think the outside is done! What are your thoughts on how it looks now?
    Going to test the new lights tonight 🙌

    Im in the wheel business. Definitely put some spacers on the front and rear. somewhere between 10mm and 15mm would be nice. Trust me you will love it.

    Nice ride! I have a midnight blue C4S with ducktail myself. You can install a turbo lid above the ducktail. You'll get.rid of the brake light. A good idea is to put some spacers on too, 7mm front and 10mm in the rear from what I can see. Enjoy the modification journey!

    Fantastic transformation, subtle forward dates that really lift the car. Nice level of personalisation whilst still retaining the OEM character. I'd very much like a 997 like this!

    Richard- you have really knocked it well out of the park with this 997. The subtle mods and colour choices are spot on. Looks much better without the orange stripes too. Can’t wait to see the car in the flesh if you take it to the next cars and coffee. Thanks again John

    Love the wheels and calipers. The lights not for me but the car is an extension of your own personality don't worry what others think so long as you like the lights. I have a spare 997 turbo front pu, rear pu and turbo decklid at my indy Nine Excellence if you ever go mad with another 997 mod project ;)

    The rear lights being a dark red tie in well with the Arena Red Calipers and Fan. 👍👍

    Richard, I like most of the visual changes. However, the lower lip on the front bumper looks a little low and ungainly for normal road use.

      It does ground out a bit, I will maybe raise the car with the new suspension fitting.

    Looks lovely, but would really benefit from some wheel spacers

    Looks the bees knees, Richard. Much more modern, but still classy. Hope all goes well with the engine/suspension mods.

    Car is looking mint👌 personally I would have done the wheels silver and left the fan black.

    Good video Richard, Do you do any tool reviews? We recently released a portable air pump.

    Yep headlights look great Richard, whole car infact I’d maybe match the centre caps/bolts in silver. Can’t wait to see it at the next event or launch party at the new unit!! Spencer.

    First time I’ve liked led lights - great choice. The Arena Red is stunning 👏👏👏👏

    Looking more and more like mine with every update :-)
    While you're in the engine, have a think about a lightweight clutch and flywheel. It's transformative...

    I was sceptical when you started but I’m with you now. I’m looking for a 997 that’s had an engine rebuild ( my last Porsche had the early signs of bore scoring ) and I’m going to basically copy what you have done. Love the front but where does the number plate go? I couple of weeks back I was in Tesco at Ashford and saw a police car stop a gorgeous Ferrari for not having a front number plate. They were parked up close to the exit to Tesco Extra at Kingsnorth.

      Hi John, it’s in the front window screen till the sticker plate arrives. It had a sticker player before and it looked good. Lots planned on the engine etc next 👍

    Good choicesRichard, Think the darker red is a far better look than bright red and the rims are perfect for this 997.

    So where did you get those alloys for the previous Porsche ? Look really good for 997

    The wheels and lights look great. If I had one I would definitely do the same 👍

    Front headlights give the car a fresher/more modern look. Spot on with the alloy design complemented with dark chrome. All done in good taste imo. Watching from the other side of the world.
