Amazing Paintwork

[Dr. Acula]

I've read somewhere on the internet (so it must be true) that the metal body and the plastic parts (bumpers) on these cars were painted at separate locations and assembled afterward, which means the paint is not always an exact match between the body and bumpers. I've seen a few of these cars where both bumpers did not match the body, including white cars, so there may be some truth to it.

I recently acquired a 2003 yellow one and I notice there is a very subtle difference between the bumpers and the metalwork, they either weather a little different or as you say, they are painted different (locations?).
It;s subtle enough not to worry me.
I also have not noticed any orange peel either.

Hi Rick
Great looking car, Is it the blue roof like mine. This has too be defo the best colour combos out there for the boxster.

I noticed you have a colour coded centre panel. Looks good, mine could do with some attention as it has a few scratched here and there but I like the standard look so would probably end up doing it the same colour.

This consul is defo the achilles heel on the 986. I think they got the plastic form recycled video cassette boxes lol.

Yep, blue hood and I picked up a matching blue hardtop in great condition for £400. Not 100% sure it was necessary but I can't garage the car over winter so it should get some use.
I love the coloured centre console, in fact I love the whole thing.
I copied my brother in buying this but he has a metallic dark grey which is just too boring for me. I was going to get a yellow, blue or red or nothing at all.

Ye same here, It had to be yellow or guards red for me. Did yours come with the yellow see belts?
