Pictures don't do them justice, they look faultless!!! Just need to mend myself and get off these crutches now and fit them ☹️ @detail1, they look awesome 👌. Looking forward to seeing a picture fitted👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenM Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Had the aluminium cross over pipes and hoses replaced today as they had been leaking. I only bought the car recently and missed this important detail (heart/head) so just needed to get it done so I can continue to enjoy the driving. Took the car up into central London to collect supplies from my office - must say on the way back tried the PASM sport button and really enjoyed it - great fun - so very happy tonight.

I will be doing a full service though and plan to get stuck into some more mechanicals after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before After That really was awful! I don't see why people want to change the badges to something from a newer style model. It's not a Halfords add-on car. If the rest of the car is standard, then leave it standard. If the car has had lots of modifications (as I'm sure 99.9% of them haven't) then fair enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks much better mate, nice one. You should think about getting rid of the Boxster badge as well. I've just done that on mine, and I think it looks awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry buddy, but the "before" pic without the badge looks much better to me. Especially in that gorgeous grey metallic, you've got to be happy with that! I've just realised, this gives me a good excuse to post a gratuitous pic of mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenM Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 New pollen filter for the car today, was surprised to find no metal clip holding the air filter in but a slide on plastic one ! I have also Washed the seat belts as they were not retracting very well so will see if that helps once they have dried properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please report back on the success, or otherwise, of the washing and what you used as my driver's side belt is very lazy at retracting.

Jonttt Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Yep, has made a big difference.......its the crud that builds up over the years......get rid of that and it retracts a lot better ;-)......before I had to consciously "feed" mine back in....now it just retracts like it should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had assumed the seat belt spring loaded mechanism was worn, because mine needs to be fed back in manually as well. If it's just a case of cleaning the belt webbing, that will be a great result, cheers for yet another helpful tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just changed them on mine took 20 mins no errors they are so much brighter than the original candle no experience at night driving yet but G P had no problems easy cheap upgrade and quick delivery two days.

Saunders82 Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Today’s job swapped out the ignition switch this evening and got a new trim. The parts is updated to a 07 at the end from a 03. The key action feels a lot newer. Took me about 30 minutes. I recommend locking a spare key into the new switch . Tying some trainer lace to the top of the key then pulling it through the dash. im hoping this cures my random not starting fault . Also you 100% don’t need the special tool Porsche recommend I used a flat trim tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fitted the recommended LED headlight bulbs and all went well - nice and bright and so far no canbus errors. I am also interested in replacing the high beam so I messages the seller and this is the reply... "Here is the link of H9:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XXX/274385279187Your car model may indeed have decoding problems, we can recommend a decoder (but our decoder can only decode 95% of the car models, it does not necessarily guarantee that you can decode your car model).If necessary, please contact us." The lack of guarantee on errors is putting me off having a go but I might succumb and try them later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
