Here is my '99 Carrera 4 / 3.6 X51, Arctic Silver with Metropol Blau interior. I got the car in august 2017, and have been enjoying it as a summer/weekend car ever since.
The engine was replaced with a 3.6L X51 about 31.000 miles ago. The gearbox was overhauled in 2015, and the car itself is generally in a good condition. Lowering springs from Gemballa have also been fitted, these provide the perfect blend between ride height and handling. I've also replaced the stock mufflers with a pair of FVD "Brombacher" TàœV-approved ones, which proved to be spot on - especially since I'm planning to get 200CPI cats later.
Cosmetically, there are a few marks here and there, but nothing extraordinary if you consider the age and mileage of the car, and the fact that it has been a DD earlier in its life. It drives and handles great, and the sound from the flat-six makes me smile every time (especially with those FVD cans).
Future plans:
-Respray the "frunk"
-Aero kit (yes, I like it!)
-200CPI cats (not X-pipes, straight version from TopGear)
-997 shifter mechanism
-Phone delete
Cheers!
