    Over the last couple of days got a few jobs out the way.

    Firstly I debadged the rear of the car. I know this  can polarise people a bit but i prefer the clean look & not getting my sheepskin mitt taken apart by the "Boxster" logo on the boot lid. 

    All that & it's a base car but some previous owner decided it ought to have an "S" after the Boxster, even though it isn't. This in particular has always irked me coming from owning a MR2 mk3 with a 2zz engine swap. Going from a wolf in sheep's clothing to a tw*t in wolf's clothing.

    The "S" had obviously been lifting & the previous owner had glued the tail of the S down with something hideous & hard 😡. Big thanks to whoever posted on another thread to use WD40 👍. Strong sunshine, said WD40 & elbow grease (well, thumb grease) & thumb nail finally got rid of that after about 20 mins effort.

    Zunsport grilles fitted.

    Car washed, dressed with Poorboys Black Hole & waxed after. Car looks tremendous, especially with its newly clean bottom 😊.

    Finally replaced the front bumper clips with a new set after previous bumper removal revealed them to be rusting quickly.

    Jobs on the list; clean the interior, have the boot lid detailed (can still see some Boxster S marking when the light is right/wrong), couple of tweaks on the sound system. Oh, & an exhaust some time before MOT in October.

    I have a da polisher you can borrow.

    On that note. Anyone in Soctland within a decent drive of Glasgow with an aftermarket exhaust who might be able to let me hear/experience what's available? No rush.

    @MickH Looks nice!

    Just taken delivery of a used one from Ebay, but need to get matched to the car colour. 

    Any issues with changing over from the original one?

    Not at all its super easy.  @Lonewolfgjp was kind enough to send me some instructions.  It takes about 15 minutes and is as simple as

    Push the centres out of the plastic clips (3 of on back of spoiler)

    Remove upper section

    Remove 2 holding nuts

    Put new one one

    I was watching that. Quality bit of kit. I didn't get in a bidding war with you because I found some posts from people who reckoned it was awesome but a bit loud for day to day use. Record it and post a vid when it's done.

    Yea its very loud. Lol

    First I've heard if them. The reason I ask is I've recently had my car in at George Morrisons and I'm not that enamored with him. I have slight play in my front near side wheel bearing and will need the wheel alignment checked. Might give them a shout if you recommend them

     

    They are in EK luckily. Id use them even if they were further away. They have an amazing reputation. 

    The guy that worked on mine is an ex opc mechanic.  So they know the cars well.

    I have speed bumps on the way into my estate. And oddly im scraping less now that its lowered. Im sure it must be down to the added stiffness 

     

    With the alignment I got some adjustable toe arms for £100 which had made a big difference. However I do need some camber arms as well to get it perfect. 

    Its within tolerance but I will upgrade next time its in the garage
