Very true! Apologies if it's actually an S, but I don't know why there's an original Boxster badge on the back, rather than an original Boxster S badge.

I was never offended, but apology accepted.
I was curious to why you thought it was a base, so thanks for bringing up that the rear trunk badge was off-center. To de-badge it now, so another "Ger" cannot critique my box lol

Did you paint the wheels white? If so, post a picture.
In your avatar they are white and look really good.

Thank you Yellow986S, I did it a few years ago.
I could only find the one picture that's on my avatar.
It was a plasti-dip white with plasti-dip gloss coat.
I plan to do it again once weather permits.
But here's a blown up picture of my avatar for now.

I have to disagree that this is a base badge on the back. It may be off center, or it could be the camera angle. It was my understanding that only the S models came with the titanium badges. It's also possible that the badges were replaced and the person putting them on didn't get them quite right. I'm gonna say that this is an S....no doubt in my mind.

Good job changing everything yourself.

Tony
