Porsche did a good job is hiding the bulk of the new mirrors.

wow i never realized exactly how close the 997.2 is to the 997.1

from the front angle its almost impossible to tell besides the mirrors, this is almost a little disapointing to me

I think that if both cars were modded and driving on the highway most could not tell a difference at a glance. Great looking car, but until the aftermarket goes crazy i dont see much incentive to trade up if the car is mainly street driven.

Most people would be envious to own one TT. But to own two - wow. Good on you. BTW what do you think of the PCCB's? They are a AUD$20,590 option here and I'm not sure if I want to tick that box when I spec mine up.

Except for the redesigned engine, and transmission. I agree, very difficult besides mirrors and taillights to tell them apart, but it is 997.2, not 998, so I wouldn't expect there to be a huge deviation.
