When totally happy with the placement then work gently from the center outwards whilst holding the plate in position. Good luck, I think they improve the look/lines of the front no end rather than that after thought of a plate holder😃. Iwasnt sure if wetting a very sticky plate would work....

red rocket Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Picked mine up from local indie after clutch, flywheel and RMS change. Flywheel was goosed. Drives like a completely different car now - clutch pedal is now very light where it had been extremely stiff with a very high biting point. Also had a great discussion about crossover pipe replacement which I may now do myself whilst i am doing planned front suspension refresh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched you tube videos on applying ppf and wrapping. Same principle, loads of water allowed the plate to slide into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 helps if you have a very small drop of detailing spray or car wash soap in the water too😉 As long as the vinyl isn't very cheap - you can easily squeegee out the excess fluid.

McDonald Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Came round a corner at some speed this morning, to find police attending a prang and the road blocked. I now know just how good the brakes are on my Porsche. I'm mightily relieved that my car didn't join the rest of the scrap strewn across the road. Good tyres, good brakes & adequate attention to the road. It did make me think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWR73 Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 First top down blast after lockdown and coming off SORN (house purchase and then lockdown). It's like trying to make friends again, seems like she forgives me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixster Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 22 hours ago, minimoog said: I gather it's generally regarded as a 'when' not 'if' problem, so yes very common. The cables aren't mega money - OEM are £325 at Design911 (probably similar at your OPC parts counter). Needless to say an indie would swap them out for less than your OPC quote. Yeah I know but factor in a trailer and the hassle factor and OPC became the least worst option. At least the only other thing they could find was the alarm battery which I turned down at £345 🤣 Silver lining I hope is that the gear change should now be like the proverbial hot knife through butter🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bally4563 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 So today got back home from work and my Bilstein B6 PASM rear struts have finally arrived ( ordered in December!!) Stripped one out, opened the box and they have sent fronts😡😡 On a positive note the Carnewal 200 cell cat manifolds I’ve bought, the one side I’ve done no bolts sheared, 😇using some sound engineering practises, just hope the other side plays ball🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
