I think there's now two Gareth's on this thread, but if that was for me, nope! I'm on the south coast!
Yes, im local, only became a Porsche owner in December and joined the club so haven't been to any meets yet, I will be this year though.
Great spec. I would support having axle lift as well. Also 992s haven’t got windscreen top tint as standard so if you are used to it worth getting at <£100. Also brake callipers in black against blue paint maybe good? I also have the Al gear lever which you have specced and, although expensive, have not regretted it. Lastly a heated steering wheel could be useful?
I have the front axle lift on my 992.1 GTS and have found it very useful. I have however managed to scrape the underneath a couple of times when I wasn't expecting to, though my OPC confirmed there was no damage. I also have a 996 Carrera and have never scraped the ground in 20 years, so in future I think I would probably choose a Carrera or Carrera S, without the lowered suspension, as it is more practical for road use. I also have the heated steering wheel which I have found very effective indeed in the recent cold weather.

I would endorse Tony’s view of the front screen tint Especially if you are going for a glass roof. Think it was circa £70. Also the heated wheel was standard spec on the GTS. For me the GTS standard spec is great with the race text interior, rear wheel steering, sports seats which are all options which I would have picked. I opted not to go for the coloured stitching. It looked a bit expensive for what it was for me but, at the same time, I was happy to pay a premium for the ceramic brakes. Horses for courses. Just love the configurability………my son is looking at a Ford Kuga,……he doesn’t get it.
