Love the new front lights looks so much better and the wheels are brilliant. Well done 👍

wow ok that colour is amazing on the wheels!

👌👌👌👌 Absolutely superb those wheels are indeed the nuts! The perfect choice; they look so good. Can’t wait to see the update with the next stage of the modifications.

Cool project...Like the door lettering but maybe try matching the calipers, door lettering, seat belts, emblems. All of those details in orange or even in silver/gray to match the wheels would be very tasteful.

Inspired choice on the alloys colour looks the nuts! I'm normally a strict OEM fan but your mods are superb!

Looks good but I’d definitely ditch the orange lettering on doors if it were mine 😊

Loving the alloys and duck tail👍👍👍

Really coming together now - I hope the dark red brakes work well

Definite thumbs up on the headlights and wheels. Not so sure about the rear lights. Its weird because they look great when they are NOT lit up. But lit up they look like cheap eBay lights.

Exactly. A neighbour had the same rear lights and I wasn't a fan of them lit up.

Looking rally good, I especially like the silver/black alloys. Only problem now is where are you going to place the white CTR stickers? Can't wait to see it finished.

Enjoying this journey mate ,been thinking about a 997 for the summer 👊

Lights and alloys look great

Those wheels look awesome! I'm in the process of upgrading he lights on my silver 997.1 and still undecided between the ones you have or the 992 style. Did you consider the Morimoto XB tail lights?

Great video

At 5.48, is that wheel signed, at about six o’clock? Love the car. I’m a fan of 996/997 platform cars. Is the 997 prettier? I have to admit it is. But is the 996 as good looking, in a different way? I think it is. It’s got bags of character. The 996.2 tweaked a number of small styling elements that, to many people, make it an improved & more integrated appearance. I’m new to 911 ownership (996 40th anniversary edition) so I’m not sure how much changed 996.2 to 997.1. Front and rear bumpers, front of wings for major revisions to headlights, bonnet shape change. But the majority of the tinware is very similar, no? And internally, also similar? Slightly increased bhp at each level, as pretty much all manufacturers do when they bring out a “new & improved” version.

Yes Breyton - did not notice it before

Looks like a fun project. @challengetheroad, where did you source the new headlights?

I used 911 design for the lights, will give all the details on the next video 👍

Not a fan of "PORCHE" on the doors either or any make of car for that matter; cheapens the look? Alloys look great. 👌👍

I am sure those front and rear lights weren’t cheap, but wow they sure look cheap.

Lovely 997 S, but I really don’t understand putting a Turbo front bumper on this car. First of all it’s bespoke to the Turbo,so it just makes this a bit of a Frankenstein car. Secondly the Turbo bumper is just ugly IMO. If you’re going to change the stock bumper the aero kit bumper would be the obvious choice to me.

I really don’t like those led rear lights on 997/996, look naff imo

Be interesting when it all comes together - the lights are poor on original car
