Very nice!

I guess Europe has some other differences other than the rear bumper. Mine has silver roll guards and yours are black.

what a beautiful car -- and a beautiful place to drive in! i am jealous.

although the strip can be fun to cruise -- just can't exactly push the car to its limits going 3 mph.

I would not mind silver roll guards...but I keep my bumper! MUCH nicer :-)

Unfortunately we have these ugly bumperettes but at least we can have them painted to match the car. It makes a world of difference! :)

it looks to me like they are the same bumper, except the bumperettes are there simply because of the smaller shape of our license plates. Can our bumperettes simply be removed to gain the european look?

lol...i wouldn't like to have these...they look like "ADDED"...well, German engineers...or sorry, designers should I say, don't seem to integrate them in the design upfront...ach das ist schade :-)

Beautiful car and the scenery is breathtaking. Must be fun driving in that location. Congrats on the car it looks great. Excellent pictures.

It is absolute fun to drive these roads :-) No traffic, no tiptro :-)

very nice
 

Hey what a nice boxster... fields of barley.. perfect setting!

awsome! simply awsome!

I concur :-)

I think the bumperettes are a legal requirement for the US. In Australia we have small numberplates too, but no need for the bumperthingies. Check out my little pic

wow those bumperettes really spoil the shape... does anyone know what they are for?

Certainly not a protection against big SUVs :-)

The bumperettes work believe me, I was rear ended by a toyota tacoma going 40-50 - I was standing still [it was loaded with concrete 10 bags], just a few scratches and dings.

ahhhhhhh, thanks for pointing out what these are for.. I had no idea i thought they were for some car reg plate or something lol

why dont they put these on UK cars for???

40-50 and few scratches? you mean 40 mph???? even kph i think any car would suffer more than just cosmetic damages...no?

I assume they were both moving so the impact was not equivalent to 40mph or he probably wouldn't be here to tell us about it.

Nope he said he was going 40 Miles Per Hour. I was standing still, behind a Ford Ranger. I was pushed into the Ranger and it slightly cracked my rear and bent my license plate.

Considering the amount of skid mark using a skid speed calculator.

believe it or not. Ripleys already called me :)

He may have been going 40 and hit the brakes and hit you at 10-15mph. There's no way he was moving at 40mph at the point of impact if you were standing still.

I can only tell you what I was told, you may use conjecture to figure it out.

It is in litigation so I am sticking to my story.

All I can say for sure is that they work!!!!

A direct hit at 40 mph would not only do major structural damage to a car...but potentially harms the passengers and the airbags would go off...good luck with the litigation....

i aint so sure... mickymouse may be correct, dony under estimate the boxster :)

when i crashed in my boxster at the beginning of the year i lost it at 75mph and smashed into a fence done about 4 360 spins and ended up in a field. My car was all dinted and scratched and it needed 2 new bumpers, the door was repaired as was the wing and under pannels, the front left headlight was replaced as was the corner lights.. i didnt have any real damage only surface.. and that was at 75mph pull bent into a heavy fence.. i didnt have time to apply any breaks it was to fast,
