Should have gone to Spec Savers [ORIGINAL: flat6 Brian, that red car does have bumperettes. The pic is taken dead straight on and does look like indentations but tell your brain that they are actually protruding and you'll see the bumperettes. It's a trick with the shadow and lighting that makes it almost look like it could be either[]

Daro 911 you are about 3 ml out off centre badge should be over to the left a bit ,But a blind man running for a bus won't notice it.[ORIGINAL: daro911Black tips means no PSE and last night project for my car was the return of the Spyder badge[
][] . I take it you had to scalpel round the script ,i got a piece of 3m type clear sticky tape and you just rub it on like letra set and you are left with sticky badge brilliant stuff .
Yep had to do exactly that ... Your 3m clear sticky tape sounds an even better planORIGINAL: kitchensI take it you had to scalpel round the script ,i got a piece of 3m type clear sticky tape and you just rub it on like letra set and you are left with sticky badge brilliant stuff .
i am a little unclear about the spyder alone badge efforts i can see why people want to remove huge swathes of the new 991 badges which seem to clutter the whole boot area !! but only "boxster spyder "doesnt seem too much?? it is after all only describing what it is-but i may be missing something[]

OMG does that mean I need to stick the Boxster badge back on
Dyllan the two badges fill out far too much of that rear lid IMO where as nothing at all has been great fun as only the other day someone said wow you have a Carrera GT what's it like But I have always liked the Spyder on its own look so decided to reinstate after learning on here how too [] and I don't want people thinking my Spyder is a GT and upping there prices accordingly[]
I'm not really sure that's enough [
]Thanks again for all the kind messages fellow Spydermen! Apart from a short A-road on the way home, I havent really had the chance to stretch the cars legs, but so far it's brilliant. Surprisingly good as a motorway cruiser, but first thing that catches my attention is how good the steering feel is and how eager it is to turn in and hold it's line - even in the wet. Not sure if they get louder, but I was expecting more volume from the PSE. Outside the car, you can definitely hear the difference between on/off, but not much difference inside. You do notice the speed/volume cut-out though. I might just have to unplug it and remember to re-plug in every few weeks to work the valves. The actual music and tone are wonderful though. ... and yes, depsite huge winds and decent motorway speeds, the roof absolutely doesnt leak! [] Will report back after I've had a more spirited drive, but here's a selection of photo's from my phone: Nice & shiny in the showroom
...before being subject to 4hrs of this!

It's all up and up from there. Not teaching you to suck eggs but, I have seen people revving a car and switching the PSE on an off. In that scenario the flaps cannot close until the exchaust gasses had reduced, so switch it at idle revs and you should notice the difference. Sorry if i'm stating the obvious. What tyres did yours come with? I'm guessing Bridgestone or Goodyear[] You just need a shot of the interior now to complete the album[]

Thanks flat6. Yep, the car was at idle. You can hear the diff, but it's not as prominent as it was in my old 996 C4S (and that did sound good!). Tyres are actually Pirelli PZero N2 - still the original set apparently (not surprising due to minimal mileage!). Will get to work on that interior ... once it bl00dy stops raining!ORIGINAL: flat6 Looks the business[
In your first shot the car is parked exactly where mine was when I collected it - flat6 posted the "reveal" shot a couple of pages back! Glad you had a safe journey home - you'll enjoy the car a whole lot more when you can get it out with the roof down and drive it around interesting places. Welcome to the Spyderman club!
they are black on the new cars now aren't they? Mine still look ok but they have never suffered acidic wheel cleaner which is what normally gets them corroding. I think they will look well.
