Is it a difficult thing to do?

I know that the zeros get louder when they wear down but are they the best for the car?

Had an S (in seal grey as well) for some years. Fantastic car. Here my 5p:

• Porsche do original replacements for the lenses, not cheap though
• Pirelli's are Ok but the Michelin's I liked better at the time but I had them on 18" GT3 alloys
• Can't replace plastic with glass window - the only real downside of this car

enjoy, Dr S

Some third parties will replace the plastic screen with a glass one on a Boxster. Not sure which models and how much though, but hopefully someone on here has had it done.

Go to www.boxa.net. The forums there are awash with exactly the queries (& associated solutions + prices) you are raising.

Thanks for the replies, will keep a look out for other posts regarding the replacement rear screen, was hoping I would get all the info here rather than on another site but if all else fails I will join up, is there a reason that the info has not made it to PH?

Has anyone used eurocarparts for the replacement lenses?

cheers. only 16 hours to go
