Hey Christian,

Nice clean Boxster. BTW, I think your rims painted black would be pretty cool looking cos it would flow with the side decal you have. Is the Porsche logo on the rear deck lid a flat decal or similar to the raised lettering for the original Boxster logo.

Thanks Trieu,the Porsche logo on the deck lid is a decal,the only raised ones I found had pins that located in holes in the lid,I did not fancy drilling holes in it so I had a plain black Porsche logo made the same size as the Boxster script at the same time as the side decals,but I also like the "986"badges so the decal will easily come off if required!
I just can't leave it alone

Interesting color. Is that an aftermarket paint job, or is that factory? And man do I like those euro rear bumpers. I wonder if we can get those in the States?

Hi Shaman,
Very diplomatic! The colour was a factory special order as were the painted wheels,roll bar and centre console,I am currently painting various other interior trim parts too as and when I have time.
I assumed once your US spec bumperettes were removed all the rear bumpers were the same are they not?

After looking at mine I guess you're right. Yours just looks better with your UK style license plate, they fit nicely in the opening.

Cheers Guys, got a colour coded hard top for it that came up on ebay and just ordered (the overpriced) spin locks for the top so should pick that up weekend ready to take it off again for the summer if it ever comes.
