Default New to me Midnight Blue Metallic on midnight blue C2

Pick this up at the end of last summer from a local P car guy here in CO. 48k miles and very clean. Since I acquired it I've added RS front splitters, side skirts and a Turbo wing. Also did some Augment Cup 2 RS with gold hardware for that 90's vibe lol. Just had it paint corrected and full PPF applied. Can't wait to put some miles on her this summer.

That's also my 1990 C4 in the background. Picked it up off BaT last year with fresh glass out paint and full motor rebuild. Since then I've added wheels, new interior and have slowly been addressing all the little things she needs. Loving the air-cooled cars a lot!!

Sick, looks great! Where did you source the Turbo wing?

The wheels suit the car so well, such a classicly sportly look. Make sure you slap the Fister cans on it for extra vroom.

Thanks! Found the wing on here actually and the car came with Fister II mufflers. I've already reached out to Darin about swapping for the Fister III.

Nice. Pick up some turbo style tips from Darin, they'd look great on your car. Check them out on my blue 993.

Congrats!! Love the color and love the wheels! Welcome to the madness! I just bought a 31k mile 964 C2. What are the biggest differences you notice between the two?

Thank you and congrats to you too! That's awesome!! My 964 is much more "hot rod" if that makes sense? It's rowdy whereas my 993 is10x more refined and much easier to drive. I love them both depending on my mood. I'm sure you can relate lol

Awesome color. Congrats! I bought a similar Arena Red car last summer. So much fun. I can recommend FDM’s short shift kit in addition to a he turbo tips and exhaust mentioned above.

Welcome to ownership! Can also highly recommend the work Darin does. He did a Stage II, wide ovals, and SSK + GR — transformational work.

Congratulations on this beauty - I love that color.
We own a 'mauritiusblue-met.' BMW E30 cabriolet 320i from 1993, the paint looks very simular.

This is a 33 K miles all original car, receiving a new soft-top this week, then to be sold soon
