Appreciate the feedback - whatever the colour is I'll have some samplers sprayed up to be as sure as I can be of the colour I end up with.

Will keep VW Dove Blue in mind.

I looked at similar blues when I was thinking of going that route with mine. I quickly found out that these shades look very different at different times of the day and especially in different lights. You only have to Google a few colour names and the same cars come up in the search results! My fir...

Thank you - appreciate the pointer.

If there are any other suggestions please post them.

Am looking at a possible colour change and many moons ago saved the image below - from DDK I think - and I keep returning to it so maybe it's "the" colour. Can anyone let me know what the factory name of the colour that's been used on the car is please? https://i.imgur.com/h0XeyqA.jpg It w...

Fascinating project and am interested to see the photo of the cases/liners - I thought the consensus seemed to be for closed deck liners and these look like open deck type. It is possible, actually it's likely, I've misinterpreted the photo - what type of liner did you go for? Would be interested to...

Excellent we can compare notes. On a different topic... my wife is nearly giving up on my 996 quest. Ive spotted a 996 Gen II with 35k on the clock in Meridian Silver. Its just down the road so it would be rude not to look at it. The colour is a bit marmite, I was hoping for a blue one but Id rathe...

You are not.

Great cause - £20.00 - map

Just a thought - and probably a bit too left field but if you're after relatively modern manners with a more old school lack of electronic "nannying" the 1st generation 986 Boxsters are hard to beat for driver enjoyment. Yes I have one so there's bias - or experience - depending on your pe...

It's arrived - thank you.

Even MrsMAP took a look through and it's ended up on "our" desk.

PayPal sent,

Thanks

You have PM.

They insisted I move it as soon as I'd grabbed the photo - the grubby 986 - just in case there's any confusion

Have been using a guy called Daniel who you can contact via http://www.car-iconics.com/contact-us/ for Track Day coaching for the last couple of years. Dan is excellent, genuinely enthusiastic about his coaching with that rare ability to transfer his understanding of what's going on in a way that si...

I would certainly not write-off a 2.5 or 2.7 in favour of an S. I know the motoring press favour the latter and consider the former to feel weak and under-powered, but having competed in one for the last 2 years, I completely disagree. As a completely standard car (as it was at purchase), performan...
