so as of late!
the window in the rear has cracked but i have a temporary fix in place. getting a small bonus next month so the plan is to use the money to get myself a second hand roof from a facelift boxster so it has a glass rear screen and also get a key from porsche and get it coded so the central locking works....
however in the downtime...
stuck in a cheap early bid for these;
ended up getting them for less than half what they normally go for, still brand new, 304 stainless. look decent but whether they are or not will be the question? they came with all the fitting hardware though and for the price i couldnt complain really....
also another stupid ebay effort involved sticking in a daft best offer on a set of wheels.
specs - 18x8.5" et 45 and 18x10" et54. the rears have like 265 tyres on them or something daft like that... thankfully they have good tread too cause i don't imagine they are cheap! one of the fronts has a tiny bubble in the sidewall so i will most likely get that changed!
they aren't in as bad a condition as i thought they would be. the pictures make the curbage look worse than they are so i will give them a spruce up and a nice lick of silver before they go on
i know everyone says lows before wheels but these should work out to be about the same size as the 17's overall diameter wise but you will see more of a wheel to tyre ratio. and i cant afford to be lowering it anytime soon so....
but anyways heres a couple pics!
how they arrived, delivered by paisley freight, no problems at all!
one of the 10's
the width of a 10"er
and this is the pair of 8.5's.
going to get on ebay and look for a set of cheapo centre caps cause these accept standard porsche caps. not sure if i will get colored porsche logo, black porsche logo or something else...
and lastly i did actually get something done to the car this week.... cleaned;
and my private plate on;
and the "B" on the boxster badge on the rear was broken when i got it so when i was washing the car it broke off so i took the whole badge off
but no picture!
and thats it for now
