That's interesting. Good body kit too, even has the rain gutters removed as per the genuine 959.

Where are the rain gutters usually?

Have a look at a 911, then a 959. The 959 doesn't have the rain gutters which run from the top of the windscreen along the top of the doors and down to the top edge of the engine lid. For the sake of pedantry, the ruf CTR (yellowbird) doesn't have them either. The theory is that the drag is reduced without them allowing a higher top speed, but I can't see that it would make that much difference. Although, this may have been the factor that allowed the 959 to just edge over the 200MPH barrier.

Cool shots of the hardware, Anthony.
