After a number of months searching the classifieds I've finally taken the plunge.

I have a 2002 996 cabriolet C4s in blue/silver with grey leather, 54000 miles, I'm missing the handbook so it's good fun hitting google to find out what does what which is how I found this site.

I've booked in to have a new headliner and hood fitted as this is showing it's age, I have also ordered a leather dye kit to reduce the door cards as these has water stains which won't come out. Lots of small tlc items to attend to to get the car where I want it.

If people are interested I will keep this thread updated with the progress.

Hi welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase especially with a cab 4s but I might be biased. You should definitely keep the thread going we all love a good progress thread :thumb:
 
Hi congrats. Smart car. It's not a C4S though. More like C4 with the Tiptronic S box which some people wrongly call a C4S.

As long as you didn't pay C4S money for it. :eek: :D

Enjoy though. Nothing like that feeling of achieving your first 911. :thumb:

Colour is Polar Silver. Nicer than Arctic Silver. Looks great with a blue roof. :wink: That's what I'd go for.
 
Congratulations on your purchase, and to Porsche ownership, and welcome to 911uk.

I think folk around here will be disappointed if you don't keep your thread updated with your intended progress.

Congrats and welcome.

The owners manual is about £25 from Porsche. I had to buy one. I found a USA version on line and have it in iBooks. I can send you a copy or a link to down load. Send me a PM if you want it.

First page to read is how to gain access if your battery goes dead :wink:

Best of luck with it - there is plenty of help and knowledge here.
 
Welcome along.
This place is the number one information resource for a 996. :thumb:
 
Also - the parts catalogue is available in the FAQ section I think, and a link to a workshop manual
 
Polar Silver cab with blue roof oh yes!!
(But I also may be a tad biased)
Welcome and enjoy!!

Welcome Nipper, I saw Polar next to Arctic the other day, Polar is way superior!

Your car looks stunning. :cool:

There's a TIPEC group in Peterborough, not that close. Google TIPEC and PCGB to find local meets.
