Thank you. I actually liked my chromed side vents the best, but it was hard to find a guy being able or let's say willing to chrome the side vents...and they lasted only 2-3 years until heat and humidity destroyed the chrome under the coating.

The silver on the other hand was professionally done by a paintshop...OEM quality, will last years, so I am happy with them. Btw...I survived my stroke almost 4 years ago, too :cheers:

Not sure, IF someone could powder coat plastic parts with shiny chrome...that would be awesome.

Today my brandnew Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires were installed, including these TMPS valves from TireMoni: The TPVMS TD-1800I (internal) monitors

*PRESSURE
*TEMPERATURE
*TIRE VIBRATION
*valve battery status
*car battery status (when cable powered via cigarette lighter). Of course it can be run with 2xAA batteries only
*Smartphone app available as well (the necesary sensor is available again early 2022)

Not affiliated, but just impressed. It works like a charm. 30mins of driving on a colder autumn day upped the tire pressure by 0,2-0,3 bar, and the temperature by 15°-18°C.

BRAN 11-28-2021 03:49 AM

TÜV inspection:

1.) rattling inside the left tire
2.) something something suspension rubber cracked
3.) car paper requires an update
4.) engine sweating
5.) etc...
6.) etc...
7.) all my handmade mods
8.) new tire wheel combo
9.) front splitter (left exhaust spot rough/unfinished)

Will it pass or do I have to say good bye?
("dramatic music playing")
...to be continued

I grabbed my favourite classic PSA, as long as they are still available!
The restrictive german laws are getting tougher every year, so these don't even come with a switch anymore.
The flaps are completly automated and only open at a fixed speed above city limits.
Needed extra harness etc...installed by Porsche...$$$...but TÜV approved.

IMO the PSA's look'n'sound is 10/10 and my modded Boxster passed TÜV inspection (praise the Lord)

BruceH 12-04-2021 08:02 AM

Nice! I’m sure it sounds great!

Your car, including the exhaust, looks phenomenal Bran. Well done.
