I'm quite skeptical about stiffening it too much as I'll be getting adjustable coilovers anyway. It's still a daily so I don't want it annoying or uncomfortable to drive - with coilovers, I can stiffen it up or soften it as I please after that I can always consider it if I'd like it even harder.

So I've bought a load of stuff to get the car into a perfect condition the way it is before I go upgrading it.

In the next few weeks it'll have:

- Refurbished alloys (same colour but silver barrel)
- New heater blower (current has a small whine)
- Windscreen machine polished to eliminate wiper marks
- Windscreen scuttle resprayed matt black
- Stone chips repaired with Chipex
- Headlights machine sanded & polished
- Re-fit DRL's from behind the vents (with the bumper off)
- Clean starter motor (has a donkey sound sometimes on start-up. Very common)

I've got genuine 'PORSCHE' lettering for the rear boot which I'm going to spray matt black, but I'm toying whether or not to put it on. If I do put it on, I'd want a smaller 'Boxster S' badge as the 986 & 987's badge is quite large. I could always 3D print one though...
