I used Wago fittings when I fitted my DSC. I remember finding switched live wire in the loom was a pain, it was quite high up in the loom.

I used the same style fittings too, was a easy process once finding the correct wires. The wires can look daunting and a mess but be patient and double triple check you are splicing the right wires.

I've gone full "tart's handbag" for the rest of the summer.

I've got a DSC on the way. I just ordered these connectors to avoid doing any soldering: https://sportouring.com/products/posi-product-connectors?variant=48244343537992

Hi,

Search for DSC, but TP Racing are in the US and are the manufacturer of the controller.

A few months ago i bought armourall headlight restore wipes, the first wipe takes all the yellow off and i must say they did an amazing job, then you use a different wipe to seal the light , well this went totally wrong and just left the light cloudy and in a worse state than before, I’ve been wondering how to tackle this ever since, today whilst going through all my cleaning products i found an auto glym headlight restore kit, i used just the final polish cream on a pad in my drill, its worked amazingly well and took about a minute a side, I can’t believe the results !!!

Wow, result looks really good. I recommend you PPF the lenses now you’ve got them back to a good standard.

I don’t have experience using the pre-cut stuff so can’t comment on doing it yourself.

I had both my headlights polished and PPFed along with replacement rear arch stone protectors, and my rear lights PPFed by Max Protect (based in Kings Langley, Herts) for £390.

I actually had this leather clad and stitched centre console for a few months. Bought it from @911cab but sent it to DesignLS to get the armrest reupholstered. Anyway, picked it up yesterday and plan to fit it next weekend.

Just one thing I’m not too happy with and that’s it was originally from a 997.2 cab so has the electric roof switch. I’m working on a solution to replace the button, but I’ll live with it in the short term.

Not bought but fitted... Stainless designtek tubular exhaust manifold with titanium studs after my OEM one was splitting

In a similar vain, my work bench has a set of Bilstein B8 Damptronic dampers with Eibach Pro springs and adjustable rear toe arms waiting to go on when I get a moment (+ new bearings and fixtures)

Then I've also got some powerflex gearbox mount inserts to try...
