the ones i see in contrast from the US (eg sharkwerks/bradan) look like villas!

I'm just teasing. but don't say Gulf, there are some very professional paint shops in Bahrain, UAE and KSA.

lumma, teslam yal7abeeb! and thank you, but my bank account is hurting

ed, G-FORCE auto worx
from my experience, it's not about the floors/walls/ceiling/lighting.. all about if the mechanic is Armenian: you have an 85% chance of getting the thing fixed!
if he is anything other than Armenian, proceed at your own risk

yo yo yo done:
front bumper splitters/spoiler (oem porsche aerokit)
tail lights (blink yellow with turns)
clear front signals
clear side markers
tts fogs/ducts (led)
yellow brake calipers
yellow targa emblem
front bumperettes removal (with a twist, more later)
rear bumperettes painted

i think that was it
impressions: TURQUOISE COLOUR LOOKS SOOOOOO MUUUUUCH BETTER MINUS THE AMBER BS PARTS THAT WERE ON ORIGINALLY + THE BLACK ACCENTS FRONT/REAR!!
seriously, to my eyes, it was as if it was a completely different shade. nothing to distract/break the turquoise

to do list:
carpet scrub
obc bulb change
not sure about yellow belts? overkill?
if not overkill, not sure about what to do with the interior black plastic parts either

+1 on yellow belts not looking good. after inspecting the interior i don't think the beige is the issue but the black console and wood trim, no flow
as for wheels, i would love to run big wide a$$ tires and deep lips, but if it's more than 700BHD (for wheels w/o tires) then i ain't doing it ever

i don't fvck about lol thanks bo sh'hab
any ideas on what to do with the interior? gauges/centre dash?

Sorry for addressing an old post (and hijacking the thread), but I've been looking at this thread and found this.



Is that actually a Turbo S with a beige interior? If so, then I have actually seen it in person in a dealership in Dubai before and it looks awesome! If I had the money, I would've bought it (they were asking 315k AED, approx $85k USD).






Also, congrats on the car! Love the color!
