Had another productive day. The Boxster S badge started to suffer from paint peel, and the 'Compound' side stickers were getting a bit old. Took them both off and machined the paint underneath so that it was debadged and ready for what I planned to do next.

A friendly forum member offered me genuine 'P O R S C H E' lettering badges in exchange for some headlamp seals. I took them, resprayed them matte black, and put them on the rear. They look AWESOME.

Measuring up with fishing wire



And voila!









Instead of the Compound stickers on the side, I decided to go down the 981 style route and have the model designation on the sides.

These were bought from ebay, and while the 'Boxster' is perfect, the 'S' isn't the style of the original 'S'. It's almost there, but not quite right. I've got a friend who will print the actual one, but in the mean time these will do just fine!





They make up for the fact there's no 'Boxster S' badge on the rear.

Muchos better going to put the DRL's back into the bumper in the next few days.
