98 Boxster. Tip.

Soon I'll be replacing the thermostat and water pump. OP listed a parts list:

1 900-123-144-30 Crush Washer/Sealing Ring for Coolant Drain Plug (10 X 14 X 1 mm), Boxster/Boxster S (1997-04)

1 996-106-222-17 Water Hose to Water Pump (3-Way Hose), Boxster/Boxster S w/Manual Trans. (1997-04) (Purple Arrow)

1 996-106-501-07 Water Hose to Water Flange at Oil Pump Housing (Large Hose), Boxster/Boxster S (1997-04) (Orange Arrow)

1 996-106-502-06 Water Hose to Water Flange (Large Hose), 986 Boxster/Boxster S (1997-04) (Green Arrow)

1 996-106-212-11 Water Hose
1 999-512-609-09 Hose Clamp 32 x 12
3 999-512-589-09 Hose Clamp 25 x 12
1 999-512-606-09 Hose Clamp 29 x 12
2 999-512-594-09 Hose Clamp 53 x 12
2 999-512-668-09 Hose Clamp 49 x 12

The hose with 3 arms would be 4 in my case. Is this a comprehensive list? Anything else?

I've seen the PP photo with the hoses and such. Is there a reason why one wouldn't want to replace the radiator hoses closer to the front of the car, at the radiators? What would be recommendation on those?

Thank you.
