Cool My GT2, GT3 and TechArt kitted Boxster S, nearly nothing left untouched :)

OK, so Ive had the car for 2 months.

I bought it completely stock (aside from lowered springs).

In the two months I have had it, I have aimed to get the car looking exactly the way I want it, mods including stereo, paint colour, bodykit, and pretty much everything.

As of now the car is nearly finished, just waiting on a few bits (which should be here/installed within a couple weeks), and the car is 100% finished and as I want it.

Unfortunately since its raining badly in Brisbane, I cant get decent pics, so this will have to do for now.. Will update thread when I get some good pics that arent taken with a dodgy pocket camera or phone.

Finished & Nearly finished progress shots:












And for anyone interested, heres a summary of modifications

Engine mods:
* K&N air filter

WTF!

Tough looking Boxster fella! I love that rear bumper(got to find one in the UK) and your "amberectomy" indicators finish the front off perfectly (makes you sweat a bit doing it doesn't it)
well done.

Nice car. I hope to see it around on the Gold Coast. I just did the amberectomy tonight - looks so much cleaner!

Nice job! The third brake light spec was not listed. Where did you source it and does it light? I was just going to make something but I like the look of what you have much better
