What did you buy your 997 this week?

Some new microfiber pass for the DA polisher, thought I would give them a go instead of the usual foam pads! Ready for the first good detailing of the year when back from holiday!

I like it Les pics when its on mate :thumb:

Spent some time in my local OPC measuring up the badges....

This is one of the jobs on my to do list.... how did you measure or match up, I worry I will put them on wonky!
I would probably just go with the P O R S C H E badge myself. ..
Good job!
 
MOT, road tax, new A/C condenser & a pair of tyre pressure sensors... Almost £500 down just putting it back on the road, & that's before the A/C re-gas 🙄😳

I measured the spaces at the OPC but the 997 curves slightly so you need to use a tape line ,I have been told that the gap is the same width as the letters
and if you putting the 911 on make sure its leaning correctly :thumb:
 
New engine mounts one of mine failed miserably

Some cheapie (£20) wheel caps from fleabay, arrived today and not a bad match for my OZ wheels :D Quite impressed with the quality for the money, time will tell howling they last, but for £20 don't mind changing them every year!
 
A visit to Reep Midland for a full (wheels off) detail inside and out, ceramic paint protection and front end PPF.

I would highly recommend Reep., the turbo looks like ew again!

Bought a G3 Clay Mitt from halfords this morning after reading a recommendation somewhere, brilliant, so much easier than a clay bar,works really well and takes half the time :thumb:

The colour is a little darker grey than the wheels, was intending to paint them a closer match but I think they look close enough!

Thanks to a small stone from the car in front, I've just fitted a new pair of new condensers.
