That looks the business! Wonder what a green lip on the wheels would look like. And blacked out fog surrounds. It's good fun spending other people's money...!
Was only thinking that the other day! Hmmmmmmmmmm

Needs the blacked out fog surrounds like on my old car to balance it. I also did my rear spoiler black.

Then Porsche made a "black pack" option

Are the fog surrounds easy to get off? smile

They just pull off, but you need to warm them up with a hair dryer first to avoid breaking the retaining clips.

Looking at your photo I've just noticed the front part of the Cayman stripe on the front bumper is missing on mine frown Bet you can't just buy that part on its own either
Also just found this on the Bay which seems reasonable http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=...

Just purchased the next phase of mods, IPE (Innotech) manifolds with 200 cell cats to complete the full exhaust system, a set of Goodridge braided hoses + Brembo race fluid, and an OEM short shift

Very nice thread. What sort of power hike is expected from the whole exhaust package?

And, I wonder, do switchable PSE's increase power or just the noise?

Just a noise increase.

Original quote for napa leather was £120 but then I changed to alcantara and added green stitching and the matching 12 o'clock ring and the total bill was £140 and took a week to do.
They also offer a replacement wheel service if your car is a daily driver.

Been quoted £50 to get the handbrake and gearshift gaitor done in matching trim
Steering wheel looks great and quite fancy upgrading my S that I've just acquired. What company did it for you?
Thanks

The company is called Royal Steering Wheels, they were superb to deal with

If I'm honest I am not really sure what the full exhaust will give as my choice was mainly for build quality and sound. If I had to have a guess I would say around 20bhp. I will shortly be having it remapped to make the most of all the mods and plan to use Chipwizards who use a rolling road so should have a better idea of horse power gains.

Looking good. Did you paint the side grills yourself, and if so, what were they like to get off?

I have a friend who is a salesman for DuPont who served his time a sprayer (and a very good one) who painted the side vents. They are quite fiddly to get off without breaking the tangs off but there is a great how to clip on utube that shows exactly where the clips are positioned and how to get them off

Looking good! Of course the trick with all the two-tone stuff is knowing when to stop... smile

Worth sorting out the dodgy 987 handbrake cable whilst fitting the SS kit?

Thanks, I'll check it out.
