The colour code is Porsche 8C6.
I thought it worked pretty well, but the Volks wheels came up for sale and I couldn't pass on them.
The above wheels (the orange ones) will be up for sale soon...

Half a can Ty. Just enough to make it black. Its meant to have good air flowing properties but I didnt want to chuck loads on. Some people dont think painting the cooler is a good thing to do, restricts air flow, etc etc, so I just put on as thin a coat as possible, then the grill helps to "blacken" things too

total newbie comment, and dont know what the cars used for,
but it sits a bit high for me, could do with dropping a touch?
again wheels look good, but agree just dressing the tyres would help - the sidewall profile seems quite large.
lovley car btw, just my thoughts. if dropping it/changin tyres upsets the ride quality or whatever then just ignore. but from asthetics point could be tweaked
regardless - its a cracking motor mate

Thanks Jimbob,
As for the mudflaps when I reverse out of my parking spot it's downhill and standard flaps will get caught under the rear wheels, and then get ripped off so I had to go for mini Kaylan flaps as a compromise. I'd love full size mudflaps but not at the expense of ripping them off now and again, plus damaging the rear bumper.

That way they will give the protection and also the look, without ripping themselves off. I have some universal Kaylan rectangles here in red, was a LOT cheaper than buying a set of PVC ones let alone Kaylan ones.

I am fitting a set of coilovers shortly which will help with the ride height although it is sitting on a set of Prodrive lowering springs. The sidewall profile is standard for a set of 17" tyres at 45 profile.
Thanks Kas.
I agree with 17" wheels the ride height can look a little high but imagine how much worse it would be without the Prodrive lowering springs.

Well the other option is full width, but trimmed to the same length as yours.
That way they will give the protection and also the look, without ripping themselves off. I have some universal Kaylan rectangles here in red, was a LOT cheaper than buying a set of PVC ones let alone Kaylan ones.

you need to stop banging your head of walls and follow your white line,
esp as there a bit more subtle changes than orange wheels and wing mirrors
i dont recall "saying slam it on the floor and stick 20's on it blud" which indeed immediatley means the owner is a pimp drug dealer
lol

eh because i think it looks a bit better with a slight lowering and a wheel that might fill the arches a bit more??

I know you pay for quality but at this rate I'll be flogging a lung or two.

The colour is Porsche GT3 RS orange, I had a set of wheels refurbed/ repainted in the same colour and the mirrors were painted in the same colour.
The colour code is Porsche 8C6.
I thought it worked pretty well, but the Volks wheels came up for sale and I couldn't pass on them.
The above wheels (the orange ones) will be up for sale soon...

Ooh look who's becoming all bitchy, get your claws back in and look who did the repair - as you know that happened before I even owned the car.
As you're well aware there are lots of cars out there which have had minor dings and have been repaired, some more than others.
