Rob™ Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 This week’s essential journey was to the village butcher... only about a 5 or 6 mile round journey, but the sun was out so I made the most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had all four wheels refinished and bought front & rear boot protectors recently. Also painted the garage floor. There's not exactly a lot else you can do when you have a Porsche warranty, the Zunsports are pushing it! Those grilles look superb! I'm after a set for mine. Did you get them new from Zunsport? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michelin Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 A good few weeks ago I cleaned the roof properly on my 981. I used Gtechniq W5 APC and now the roof is well dry I think I'll use the I1 I also purchased to seal and proof it. I love Gtechniq products. The same as 'Ronseal' products terminology 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robporsche Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) fitted spacers today 7mm front, 15mm rear, much happier although they come with a security bolt and im not a fan of them so need to swap that out at some stage. really happy with the look now. Tinted reverse light and then had a play around with headlamps, pretty tricky but got there in the end, too dark and and it should have been light grey but i think it looks a bit brown so took it off. got some spray tint tomorrow so will have play with that tomorrow and if that works well i might do the windbreaker aswell.

Patt Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yes I really struggled to get the most central clip released, and then re-fitting it snapped. Nothing a small self tapping screw couldn't fix though. I posted more details on my "Alice" post under my rides section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mneil Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Yesterday took all the wheels off on turn; jet washed, cleaned thoroughly with Autoglym paint renovator and finished off with "Carbon Collective" ceramic coating.😃 Did the brake calipers also, minus the jet wash of course 😆. Oh and treated the exposed brake pipes to some ACF50. Unfortunately the wheel rims in places are showing signs of psoriasis 😭. In one area of infection it has lifted what looks to be a layer of very thin Aluminum. It appears that maybes this is applied to the rims like a wrap🤔; it is the shiny part of the spokes with a thin black edging. The wheels are Carrera classics. Anyone else spotted this? If I am correct in my assumption, regarding the coloured aluminum foil being applied to the wheel, what will happen when they are refurbished?

michelin Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Chris Weaver from Exel Wheels is your man for the wheel refurb. First class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Need a picture to totally understand your situation. I would also not recommend Excel if you have black or apart painted alloys - the black is not as dark as OEM. Noticeably so when you stick the centre cap back on.

Patt Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 ahh water under the clear coat of a diamond cut rim. If it were me I'd just get them shot blast and powder coated, rather than try to have them diamond cut again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
