Lonewolfgjp Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 My windows didn’t drop even using the key, I’m still not sure how I managed to open the passenger door by lifting the hood as it is very solid 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Porsche Satin Aurum Gold with Aurum centre caps 🫣🫣 Hopefully it’ll look good. Think when I have the GT4 style front bumper fitted in March it’ll look great. Before photo. Will post another when I pick the car up 👍 I think the wheels will look great in that colour, that is my favourite of the gold. I will be interested in seeing the GT4 style bumper with the gold wheels, I think you may need to look into spacers to beef up the look to match the more aggressive bumper 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringmaster999 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 As mentioned above I dropped the car off Monday to a well respected Wheel Refurb shop local to me. I was contacted Thursday morning to say the car wouldn’t be ready until late Friday as they weren’t happy with the colour match on the wheels after it they had been powder coated too the OPC supplied centre caps I’d given them in Porsche Aurum gold. So they were going to strip and re-due them and the car would be ready Friday evening. Car picked up tonight and to say I’m delighted with the finish is an understatement. Can’t wait for the GT4 style front bumper to go on now in March. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
