Personally I haven't had any concerns about the longevity or durability of the wraps, and that's living in a climate with 20 degree (F) winter temps through to 100 degree summer temps.

I love vinyl wraps - our company cars are yellow which is a horrid colour for resale (in a van or hatchback) so we buy whatever colour is cheapest off the lot and wrap them.

As a result I've had...

I finally got a reply from Fabspeed - no explanation as to what happened to the in-stock exhaust I ordered but they will have mine made by 6/9 - a good 2+ months from when I placed the order. They...

Pelican Parts and Suncoast both delivered quickly - they had credit card verification hoops to jump through but otherwise pretty quick delivery.

Yes the wait is frustrating - but worse still I just can't get anyone at Fabspeed to respond to my emails and let me know where my order is up to.

Thanks!

The first step is to figure out exactly what the previous owners had already installed, as there was very limited paperwork with the car in that regard. During the pre-registration...

Thanks!

I can't take credit for the photos - the previous owner took those for the For Sale listing (hence the watermarks). I sent the car off to my mechanic pretty much as soon as it arrived to...

Thanks for the reply - that TT rear bumper does look nice but anything so expensive defeats the point, as I may as well just import an exhaust system with Boxster central outlets...

Good question.

Short answer is that I don't know - it's just mounted where my local Porsche Centre mounted it.

Any reason to mount (or not to mount) a particular way?
