I don’t remember the actual figure but I bought one last year for my 987.1. I think it was around the £80 mark minus 10% PCGB discount.

edc Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Well I have a 981 version still in my garage from a couple of years ago and if it was much more than £35 I would have never bought it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_johnson Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Fitted 7mm aluminium spacers all round today, while the wheels were off I also took the liberty off cleaning the wheels thoroughly before treating them to 2x coats of Poor Boys wheel sealant. Very happy with the rend result, with the new Eibach roll bars set to firm at the front and soft at the rear and now with the slightly widened track I can finally rear some rotation on the rear end. Very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzlee Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Cleaned the MAF and Throttle Body, now much smoother at low revs Car had an AOS failure before I bought it, and it was clear where all the oil ended up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sazzy Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Fixed my roof! Well 99% and it's the best it's going to be. 2hrs of trying to align perfectly the left side to the right was an absolute nightmare, every mm makes a difference. It's not perfect but I don't think it can be as things went a bit out of shape. Be nice to actually get a roof down drive in this weather now! Fingers crossed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot, main thing is I've saved myself a fortune which I wouldn't have been able to shell out for right now as I've just forked out for a major service and plugs. I just hope it's ok as my Porsche paranoia is at 99.9% ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S14 Posted May 26, 2018 Report Share Posted May 26, 2018 Just a follow-up to my last post. The air-con was re-gassed today, and so far all seems good. So it’s top down and air-con on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sazzy Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 Washed car and roof and re proofed roof with Autoglym kit. Had a tentative go with the clay bar I got for my birthday last week. Never used one before, so watched some you tube vids, hope I did it right! Only got half the car done but wow what a difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sazzy Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Finally got hold of a new bonnet badge. Went to remove the old one, stuck fast with a thick layer of glue!! Got it all off, took paint with it, not the end of the world I thought as new badge will cover it. Fitted new one and it doesn't sit in the same place! Now im left with a right mess. Help!!! What would you do? Absolutely gutted, right before Beaulieu. ??? Edited June 1, 2018 by Sazzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's stopping that badge from fitting where the old one was incidentally? Has it got locating legs?

I think what's happened is the previous owner glued a badge on without the pins. The pins were in the holes but I think they'd snapped off from a previous badge. I bet they'd had it stolen.

Or get the glue off with some solvent and polish the area up a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
