A whole host of "improvements" and a decent std spec - Full heated electric leather (on recline not the base) xenon headlights (recently fully refurbished and re-lacqured) electric windows and remote locking - with two keys and the little black thing PASM PSM 6 speed manual sport chrono Air con 19" lobsters on fresh P zero rubber on the rears (lots of life in the fronts) Had ims, clutch and both air condensers done at 62k miles.

Menoporsche Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Sorry to hear you have to sell. Hope everything works out. I struggle to get my head around anyone paying 15k for a 3.2. But yours has a lot of really choice additions. 15k top top, but 13k for a reasonably fast sale, based on what I've been seeing here over the last few months. Good luck.

PFX Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Finally had a chance to put my new wheels and spacers on. Next - find house (affordable) with garage large enough to keep car away from pesky pigeons and road dust... Set of 19" lobster claws (non-Porsche) will be up for grabs soon (need to clean them up first) 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this one is in the same ballpark.

Finbox Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Got the car MOT'd, no advisories. Only comment was that the car had done only 1000km between the MOT's, but now that the car is mine I can do better!-) Went for a nice drive down the local country roads, the car's odo hit 50000km during this drive. Not that much for a 2010 car. Beautiful evening, the picture is taken around 10pm, sun still shining and +23 degrees.

Sammysmiths Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Took off the side vents to paint black. Currently silver, on a white car. They will look much better. I thought I’d desnorkel also but don’t want to go the whole hog and remove the blanking plate completely, as I don’t have a mesh insert to replace it with. So, I’ve drilled holes in the blanking plate, around the snorkel area and will see if the noise is any different. It might whistle like a squealing pig for all I know!

BBB Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 @Sammysmiths I did the same: removed the vents to paint them black and removed the blanking/impactor plate. I then fitted this mesh shown in the Youtube video. If you email him he 3D prints them to order, in terms of colour and what you want writing on it. I went for red (to match the calipers, with white PORSCHE lettering). It takes a couple of weeks to arrive as he posts from Puerto Rico.

Ran mine for 2 years without the blank plate with no issues whatsoever. Don’t think there is much risk really as you’ve got to go some to get stuff in there. Just don’t squirt a jet wash directly into the vent and you should be fine Edited June 13, 2021 by Mattman42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
