I bought some Fabsil A while back but just not got round to actually putting it on the roof, so I really should do it on the next dry day.

Interior boot-lights arrived, thanks for the link [mention]Broccers[/mention]
Cheers,

Mike.

Well done :lol:

Those trunk lights really are so much brighter. Must sort the air-con switches out before I CBA doing anything due to cold, dark, snow, rain etc.
Cheers,

Mike.

Sealed the roof, dead easy with a paintbrush. Asked the oracle of facebook how to get rid of these circles. General reply is you're stuck with them.

Is that from the waterproofing or were they already there?

There when I bought it. It's where the rubber stops hold it up when the roof is down. A feature apparently.

When putting the second coat of roof seal I finally did the candle side lights. Quite a difference.

I have exactly the same.

Had mine MOT’ed today, just needed wipers. I’m in a keep/sell quandary now.. Weather looking good tomorrow though so I’ll take it out for a drive and see how I feel.

On the hunt for exhausts again as ideally want to get this done as my xmas present. Tony Banks in leeds are getting positive reviews from boxster / cayman folk so figure this is the plan.

I looked into that - throws an error and needs coding / map to sort it out properly. Also the bolts tend to snap too which they did both sides on the other end of the manifolds. Great if it came already sorted.

Yes - Gert Carnewal. People used to do day trips. The exchange rate doesnt make it a great option these days.

Nice one!

Do you mind sharing how much its costing? I guess I'd just need to get the exhaust shipped to me, but would give me a rough idea. Need to get mine done in the new year.

Tony Banks make them on the day for your car - you go in, tell them what you want noise wise (no drone, it all to go mental at 3.5k) and which tips you want from their selection. Usual cost is 400 :)

[mention]Ascender[/mention] you could try these guyshttps://www.longlife.co.uk/Longlife-Glenrothes to see what they can do as they seem to be part of the same group.
