the white dials and silver surrounds look particularly good; are the silver roll bars an alloy surround? I' ll post a picture of my new exhaust once it stops raining![&o]

Hi Andy
The roll bars are finished in Porsche' s new Ali look which matches the Ali look fittings like the door handles and dial surrounds. Very expensive option which should really be offered as standard kit IMO ... These finishes are fitted to loads of cheaper cars than a Porsche as a standard finish, even my wifes recently nicked and never recovered (thank God) Jeep Cherokee had this Ali look on the centre console and here and there as standard kit.
Your rain should be gone by the weekend so get your digi charged []

It looks good. It looks as if they have added a new bracket between the two pipes. I don' t have that on mine. I bet you can' t stop changing down unnecessarily through tunnels and just booting it. Great fun and highly addictive !!
Cheers Richard.

Hi Richard
Yes you are dead right I can' t get enough of the fantastic sound track. Stereo is either off or turned right down and the sound at night up London side streets is brilliant []
Thanks for the original info all those months back .... I owe you a chilled beer []
Well spotted refs the additional bracket now you can investigate why ... Hows your conversion running these days and is it 100% sorted Regards ...Robert

unfortunately couldn' t make Brooklands; the mrs wanted to go to the local BM franchise to get info on the forthcoming X3; hoping to get to Goodwood on the 11th.

Did you specify the " no badge" option at the rear or did you remove yourself? I always think that they look a bit cheap and nasty. are they stuck on?

To remove badge.
1. Using dental floss, saw through the adhesive holding the badge on
2. Rub remaining adhesive off bootlid with fingers (it rolls off)
3. Clean and polish/wax bootlid with your preferred items
4. Stand back. Admire clean look.
5. Get people asking "what is it?"
A word of caution - I have seen a car with the Boxster script removed, that the paint had faded around - meaning the script was still visible! This may, or may not be to your liking depending on preference...[]

Seem to have got two threads going here! I can't see that a different exhaust system is really going to change the risk as far as insurance is concerned. We changed the exhaust on my wife's Cooper S and insurer said that was fine and no need to alter premium. A proper hand crafted stainless exhaust can be a work of art and car manufacturers just couldn't make the numbers work if they tried to fit them as standard.
