Congrats on the new Boxster. I just bought a Boxster a few weeks ago. Your Boxster looks like it has aftermarket LED tail lights.

I think refilling the AC system is an easy DIY. There's a writeup on pelicanparts.com. Hopefully that is the only cause of your AC not working.

Welcome to the forum! Hope the first Boxster isn't your last. I have no experience with winter driving a Boxster, but others have posted no problems with winter tires unless you're driving through cover of 7 cm or more. Any depth greater, and you aren't driving; you're plowing.

Search the forum for DIY Do It Yourself on air filter, MAF and AOS for standard repairs.

And I have to comment that that is one sweeta$$ hardtop. Definitely not stock.

Nice car & pics. I installed the IMS Guardian myself, not difficult but I combined the install with some basic maintenance, oil change, filters etc.
My Tiptronic selects 1st gear on hill starts but most of the time its starts in 2nd.
Good luck with the winter driving. I'm going skiing at the weekend but I have 4WD Nissan Elgrand with snow tyres for that. The Boxster stays in the garage when we go to the snow

Thx for clearing up the gears for me. Any tip on a radio upgrade?
