got a new number plate plynth for the front since the old one was burst! nice new genuine porsche part for much cheapness


then it was a speaker upgrade for the front. new apline speakers, old ones cut out with a dremel, new ones fitted with some minor modifications and a bit of soldering! slightly better sound, just need a chance to properly try them. at least i have 2 working speakers now!


new interior mirror covers. when i tried to carbon wrap the OG ones, the resins reacted and went all funny looking so i need to find a way to treat the plastic before applying resin now... but for the time being i have 2 new original ones so i have spares.


and lastly i took some time to wrap the tail lights in some red vinyl i just so happened to find lying about in my pile... i took ages cause of the compound curves and it isnt perfect but from 10 yards away it looks pretty good!




also took some time to give the car a general clean up, clayed any bits that were feeling rough, polished it all up and gave the windows a polish aswell!

And since winter is almost round the corner and I plan on getting the car off the road and doing some stuff to it that would normally take time to do!
I have a polo now so if I can get the boxster into the garage (which now has light and power) I can get bits stripped down and do a service amongst other thing and take my time whilst doing it all!

The plans I have include;

Change oil and air filter and add new oil (upgraded versions)
Fit new spark plugs
Fit new front drilled/vented discs
Fit new pads (ferodo ds2500)
Fit stainless manifolds
Get and fit all red tail lights
Get and fit a short shifter
Dye and fit gt3 lower centre console
Polish the **************** out of it

Things I want to try and do/find;

Carbon wrap some parts
Fit new steering wheel (carbon/leather gt3)
Replace dash with facelift version and fit carbon upper console
Get a stainless back box
Retrim seat centres with blue suede/alcantara

These things probably won't happen but it would be nice if I could get them and get them done cheap!

And today parts started to arrive;



I'm expecting a lot more parcels over the next few days/weeks so I'll keep this updated!
