New owner

Hi everyone: I've just picked up my new '04 C4S Cab (midnight blue/grey/blue top, 6-sp, PSE, X71,X70,X54,thicker st. wheel) and I'm getting inspired by all the modifications I've read about on this board. My first install were the aluminum pedals. What I would like to know (from Loren or anyone else) is whether it is possible to remove and paint the black plastic grill in the rear side vents which help make the "S" and Turbo so distinctive in lighter colors. I thought I might order a spare set (part number?) and paint them silver, just to see how it turns out.

I painted mine on my car...see my sig...While you are at it, get the dsideskirts painted too ;)

You are talking about the small vents under the rear window on the inside... right?

If so, they are:

996 555 645 00 Grille Laquered (Left)

996 555 646 00 Grille Laquered (Right)

They only come in Granite Grey (D05) or Black (A03) so you would need to paint them. The color code needs to be added to the end of the part number to order them (i.e. 996 555 645 00 A03).

Loren, actually I mean the large opening behind the rear wheel on the bottom near the tail-pipes (only on "S" and turbos.

The numbers for the grille behind the rear wheel in the bumper is:

996 505 663 01C (left)

996 505 664 01C (right)

Thanks, Don--that's it! Now, of course, it remains to be seen how difficult it is to remove them. Maybe someone else has tried this before...
