Hi all

My brother came round with the above on a test drive.

When I popped the bonnet there were absolutely no sticker etc. on the underside.

IIRC this is a tell tale sign that it has been in an accident that required a replacement bonnet.

I've had two 911 turbos since my Boxster though, so I just just looking for a sanity check if this applies to Boxsters of this era.

Any help appreciated!

Cheers smile

I seem to recall reading that Porsche stopped putting the stickers under the bonnet from around 2005, possibly on the change from 986/996 to 987\997.
