So alot more stuff has arrived this past week!
I have been bidding on stainless back boxes for a few weeks now, they used to sell for about £125 on eBay but I didn't buy one back then and then a few weeks ago I went back on and looked for them and they had started selling for over £200.... There are 3 or 4 places that sell them on eBay and they are all the same ones and one finishes every 3 or 4 days so whenever I seen one listed I just put in a bid of £140 and decided I wasn't going to pay any more! I thought that by the time Christmas time came around less people would be watching eBay and I would get one cheap but low and behold got an email the other night I had won an auction and it ended being one of these for £130! The cheapest one that had sold for ages! So luck and patience paid off
So that's 2/3's of the exhaust that will be stainless, only bit now is the cats but they are stupid expensive if you can find them so I will do without those
Another random part I picked up arrived;
US spec front number plate holder! Was cheap and I have a couple merican plates I can jam on at shows so it's just a bit of fun really. and since this one came off of an import, it has screw holes in it, so I'm going to order a brand new one in America and have it delivered to my girlfriends cousin in Albuquerque and she can pick it for me whilst she's over at Christmas! but I will be able to mount this one on the rear with a merican plate and have the new one without any holes on the front so it shows the logo off
Couple more things added to the pile the next day!
New front discs from pagid!
Obligatory, iphone next to disc to show size, 318mm drilled bad boys!
And lastly the carbon part I had been sitting watching on eBay for ages before I bought it!
This is the bit that sits atop the instrument cluster and houses the hazard switch and a little sensor on the right
It's in very good condition but it has a grey leather top on it. This will be change out for the metropole blue one I currently have on the car
And the last couple things that landed at the weekend....
Osram Nightbreaker + H7 main beam bulbs;
And more carbon... I think I'm an addict.... These are sill protectors which will replace the brushed stainless ones that don the car at present! I am going to vinyl cut the boxster s logo from etched vinyl and stick those on to replicate the original sill protectors!
So for the time being the games room is now looking like the parts department of some little shop! It's a nice looking pile though! Lots of stainless and carbon!
And by the looks of it now I think I have bought everything I wanted too at the beginning. There are a couple things that would be a bonus if I got but not entirely necessary. i just need to wait on a roof coming up for sale and I'm sorted i think! Hopefully no more cheap cool stuff comes up hahah!
