The three dots , embed item stuff can be seen when viewing the photos on google drive itself via the Google web links for each image (not Apple finder). So for example you'll see those options at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n31677U4FsRsjdsPRMpKhdVKm9tW9mcV/view So when creating a post on BoXa you should see the Source option as per the screenshot (shown next to my Avatar pic in the screen shot below). Select the Source option Copy the code from the Embed item option Select the Source option again and you'll be given the regular post view and your photo should appear... This is screaming to be added to the start of the Newbie section a a sticky along with the Imgur and Flickr posting info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninesomething Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 Wired in the DSC sport 3 way accelerometer which is a job I do not want to do again. Ever. Don't have the controller until tomorrow but I turned on the ignition and switched the PASM on and off a few times and it seems OK. Fingers crossed. 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDonald Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Gave the car a clean, waxed it, drove it a bit, gazed at it and finally took a couple of photos with the newly acquired hard-top. When it comes off in the Spring I'll get it resprayed in Seal Grey and buy a complete set of new rubber seals. But for the moment I'm quite pleased with it's Winter look. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Nice,i'd keep that hardtop as it is... nice contrast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Agree; your canvas roof is black anyway. Live with it for a year, see if you really want to keep it (some have reported tiring of it). If you want to sell, black is easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terryg Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 My first thought was exactly the same, looks good in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not tire of the choice of hard/soft top & I intend keeping the car until I die. Resale is not an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
½cwt Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Stay black, nice contrast, same as cloth roof and saves on the wallet for something else. Then again, your car, your choice! Regarding the seals, a decent treatment with Wurth Gummi Pflege prior to summer storage, and then again before refitting next winter, should suffice, unless they are physically damaged, also saving on the pennies.

I've long been a devotee of the Gummi stuff and have already applied it once all round. I learned about it from the Mercedes forum. My impression of these seals is that they're tired, probably through storage. If I get the roof resprayed that will be a perfect time to replace those ageing rubbers.

Thanks to beaks for his how to. https://www.BoXa.net/topic/90506-front-strut-brace-install/ I would let your insurance company know you’ve done this. The reason is a side impact with a strut brace fitted can do more damage than without having one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 We've had this before but it's a Porsche part fitted to existing brackets on the car and I strongly doubt any investigator would notice. They're not visible anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_tl1000r Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Replaced original steering wheel with Royal retrimmed one. Looks and feels brill. Delighted with it. Highly recommend getting this done if you're wheel has got that old shiney appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazed Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 I want to replace the AOS. Put soft top in service position, exposed engine, removed one pipe and went inside for a cup of tea and a crumpet as my hands were freezing. Stayed inside and never went back! Flip me, it’s far to cold for this… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a relatively small cost, they are able to transform the wheel and gear interface, which itself improves the driver experience so much. Great value for money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
