  1. Did this along time ago, the full electronics/self levelling is a simple and seperate loom that can be retrofitted. The mounts are there for the sensor, both on the shell and on the suspension arm, a single run of wiring goes to the ECU mounted under the frunk. The washers are straightforward to fit also, either wired in correctly or through a simple relay switched through the lights. Well worth doing
  2. Duffy,

    It is very good to see you back on the forum. I for one have missed your knowledgeable and wise words. I have no idea why you have been 'missing' for so long but I hope your health is ok and your return is not a one off.

    Cheers

  3. Hi,

  4. Hi Duffy

    'Newish' here.

    Noticed that you had your centre console painted in you "rusting 987" thread. I was wondering how and what with ?

    My console needs a little tidy up (metropol blue) and the silver finish might 'lift' the interior.

    Getting up to speed with the 987 coming from a E85 Z4 and going through a tidying process.

    Regards

    Angus

      in the Arc Sapphire at the game, it's full of bloody yanks! That shouldn't be that surprising I suppose!

      Back on the choo choo at 11 tomorrow unfortunately EDC or that'd have been great!
