  1. No worries and no hurry. Have great holiday
  2. Thanks a bit of investment ..... but I bet it looks good!
  3. @Roch1969 Any pics of the GTS front end and a "How too"?
  4. Might help things move but not necessary. Main thing is keep things warm and if your getting frustrated on the first side go and have coffee and cool off and then go back and have another try. It is a straight forward job once you figure out the clips.
  5. I can confirm. The clip arrangement is a right royal PITA around the exhaust. I did post some pics but they were lost when the photo sharing app stopped allowing free stuff I think I might still have them some where. Another tip especially at this time of year is to keep all the plastic warm. It helps prevent snapping clips and gives you a little more margin to flex stuff without damage. Good luck!
  6. Use a metal cutting blade or very fine cut and tape the area to be cut. Shouldn't be a problem.
  7. Tidy job. Well done Eddie. Looks very OE!
  8. Yes if you look at the up close shots I have tried to indicate how the clips interact. Have you got some trim tools flat pry types available? Use tape to protect paint surfaces
  9. Its a great low budget OP mod. Two methods for fitting now documented. Give me a PM if you get to carry it out on the car although I have listed all the learning I discovered. Figuring out the clips (pics posted on the thread) and having some trim tools are key getting the job done.
  10. Thanks to you and @topradio for the help on my project.
  11. Before After ..........much tidier I think
  12. Just had to unclip the pdc sensors not disconnect. Very simple thankfully ................easiest part of the job !
  13. Front view of the centre middle clip arrangement on the exhaust trim
  14. @T24RES It helped me with access to the centre area. I had loosened all that off a few weeks ago as I found that on the 987 they were well stuck together and it took me ages to release and I don't want the same to happen on the 981. I would start with removing both diffusers at each wheel and working in to the exhaust. The second side was easier with the centre plastic support loose
  15. So after eventually getting the correct parts (Porsche sent the standard diffusers with the part number for the GTS diffusers ) I set about fitting the diffusers. I looed at topradio's excellent thread but had noticed on an US thread that it could be done without removing the bumper. I started but soon decided that it was impossible and was looking to remove the bumper. However having sleeping on it I decided to tackle it again. After releasing the fastners and working from the corner of the diffusers at the rear wheel I started to free the clips working my way to the exhaust centre trim using fingers and trim tools and on the visible clips I opened them ad then fed strips of plastic in to stop them re-clipping. As with every one else the centre clips on the exhaust trim are difficult to access but I got some decent photo's to show others what you are trying to do. Centre trim with side diffuser removed close up The RED 'D' is representative of the diffuser clip when inserted and the exhaust trim tab fits into the 'D' You need to lever the tab out of the 'D'. I used a long shank flat crew driver to lever it out. Access is incredibly bad though. See the pic below showing the diffuser and clip in situ The fitted diffuser ! Certainly an awkward wee job!
  16. Hi Boxsternoob How did you get you signature picture to be so big? I seem to be limited by pixel size are there any work arounds?

    btw Its a great picture.

  17. The advert states OEM Fitment and no modifications required ... Plug and Play. DRL activated by the Light Switch, so no additional wiring required. I don't think they need a diode therefore (probably built into the unit). I used the 'hack' and a number of people have commented on the lights in a very positive way i.e. thinking they were oem PM Guv's to confirm perhaps to confirm the diode situation??
  18. Yes no prob's and MOT was fine with set up ......................Mine has just passed
  19. Hi Richard

    I am trying to upgrade my sat nav as the thread. 

    My Amp is 00017500/3504

    PCM is 04202JDI/3004

    From your steer it would appear I have to upgrade the operating system. Do yo have a link to the updates or would you be able to assist in some way? I now have a copy of the Sat nav disc from Newbox.

    Regards 

    Angus

     

  20. Thanks Southy. clips ok  it was down to the 'feet' that the screen sits on being 'tired' Some rubber strip sorted it :)

     

  21. 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

  22. Hi
