Thank you very much.....Love the look of your car!! I have a seal grey TT as well, but just doesn't have that look. If I could do that, maybe I will hold off on a 997 TT. Thanks again!

I think the car in the vid is a widebody. At 1:20 you can see the rear 1/4 panel profile pretty clearly.

I have another pic of your car from that same day, it's a straight-ahead shot. Nice window banner
