Riviera Blue Boxster S
 

Hello Everybody!
I´m a Porsche fan from Finland.
First I would like to apologize for my bad language. I hope you understand me..
Here is a little story about my Boxster!
I have 2000 model 3.2l with little modifications.

I got my car from Germany at 2013.
First i think that the car is ok without any modifications but then i realise that i want something different!

Let the pictures speak for themselves:

First day and first pic in Netherlands. Just drive thru visit.

First upgrade, new tail lights and cayman spoiler.

Then it was time to upgrade wheels and tires. I got IA GT3 wheels 19" 9,5" in every corner. Here is also my friends Box and one of my old project car.

That was the look at the first summer.
I also lowered the car littlebit because i like to go low.. :)
So after summer i put my car to garage because there is too much snow to drive car like this..

About a month ago i decided to do something different.
Now the whole car is the project!

New exhaust fitted at first. Then disassemble the whole car.

I also inserted the new GT3 sideskirts

After the preparation its time to paint first layers.
Then i make the big decision - i chose the Riviera blue color! One of the best decision of the whole project!

After first layers we sand down the whole car again for better finish.

I also do the retrofit modification

Painted everything in black. I think its much better in black.

Then sand down the lens for new layers of lacquer

After few days its time to add new layers of shiny lacquer.
I also do darker lacquer for outlines of the lens.

Couple days later- its time to start assemble the car.

It´s almost ready. In that moment I still dont have the new front bumper..
Retrofitted lights are also ready!

This is what it looks like now.
Today I also received new GT3 front bumper!
I had still lot of work - interior - new speakers - front bumper..

Ah mate, I'm really jellous. It looks awesome!

Wow!
Looks great.

Way way way too cool. Thanks tons for sharing this man.

All good taste. Can't wait to see the final shot with shades turned on

Riviera Blue has to be one of the best Porsche colors!

Nice. Is it a genuine cayman spoiler or a replica one?

Thank you everybody! Its nice to hear positive feedback!
Spoiler is aftermarket part so it is replica, but it fits perfectly!

I really liked the car at this point:

But, what you are doing is pretty darn cool:cool: I am looking forward to the final result, very nice work:cheers:

Love that blue! :D

Absolutely beautiful.

I have the same one I think and have been hesitating to do it but having seen your one I will get mine fitted!

Outstanding. Almost like this one:

Your English is very good and I really enjoyed your many pictures. Please add more as you complete your Boxster project.

Is this Riviera Blue?

I think that it is! Riviera blue color looks little different in sunlight!

I got the front bumper! Tomorrow the exterior should be ready, i hope..
More pictures then.

That is an awesome color!
I'm jealous! :D

Looks incredible! Congrats :cheers:

Nice Job. Looking forward to a straight on shot after the bumper is fitted with those headlights.

Yes.

This one is Mexico Blue....I'd say Jaber's car looks more Mexico than Riv.....but the lighting plays a role:

Mexico blue is very close to Riviera blue. But my car is definitely riviera.. :)

New GT3 bumper fitted on!
Here is picture for you guys:
Better pictures tomorrow..

Wow! That's gorgeous:cheers:

I've been wanting to paint my 986 Signal Green for a while...seeing your beautiful fresh paint is making my wallet yell "do it!" :D

Do it! :D That´s the other great color for Porsche!

Incredible!

Your car has turned out great, well done sir! :cheers:

Love the car all around . :)

Another contender for Top Dog?

I am really loving these front bumpers and side skirts. Where can I get one as I started a thread to tart up my boxster.

Very tastefully done Jaber, I really like that GT3 front bumper:cheers:.

You have good taste in color!
Here's one of our Boxster Spec Racecars.

Thank you everybody!!
Yesterday and today we get the car almost ready!
Only small things to do anymore!

Finnish (pun intended) it off with some Klissel overlays in blue.

I see a common theme in all these...black wheels rock!

OMG!!!!! That is phenomenal, and your detailed pics are awesome!

Mexico or Riviera blue have always looked the best on Porsches imo! Definitely inspirational stuff here...:dance:

You are right! :)

Thank you, that color looks better every day!
Yesterday i drove around the city first time this year! It was absolutely wonderful!
New exhaust sounds great and now i can feel the real Porsche! Retrofitted lights also works fine!
Here is new better photo

Honestly, this color is so special we can go for a months without seeing this color on the street...my next Porsche will definitely be this color!!!!!!!!

You are right! I think my box is one of the few riviera blue porsches in my country.?
Definetaly rare but awesome color!

Sensational colour, love it!:):):):):)
