Niko Posted 16September, 2012 Report Share Posted 16September, 2012 Hmmmm...Cheeezus I'm getting old......I think it is just the Boxster, not an S, but I will keep my eye open for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 16September, 2012 Report Share Posted 16September, 2012 Monty I looked at a lovely green 2003 Tip Boxster S with only 47k on the clock. Has 18" Porsche shadow chrome type rims and is straight and in excellent condition. It's in Port Melbourne. Let me know if you want to know more about it. Edit: Colour is called 'Dark Teal' and it was lovely! Click here What the heck.. here's a pic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 16September, 2012 Report Share Posted 16September, 2012 Niko, no slight intended... but everyone has favourite, its just not mine Thats ok mate, only stirring you up.

Guest Nick987 Posted 16September, 2012 Report Share Posted 16September, 2012 IMO I would avoid 19's on a 986, were not made to take them from factory, 18 was biggest size supplied from P. 987 was first series to take 19's and was modded to take em. So don't know what impact would have on dynamics. I would avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 16September, 2012 Report Share Posted 16September, 2012 Nice......I would love a set of those wheels, but as the fellow coxmeister said, in 18" though, ..... although that's what you said they are, but ad definitely says 19"... Nice colour...nice find Amanda, good k's, but I think hefty price. But nice......just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 16September, 2012 Report Share Posted 16September, 2012 my bad, they are 19s. As for price, you can haggle on that.. as with any dealer! I like the other car they have there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the right Yellow 993 had come along I would not have thought twice. Yellow is such a classic Porsche colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 16September, 2012 Report Share Posted 16September, 2012 I'm anti green. That car looks nice but not for me. It's a Tip too blech seems to be a rare color?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveF Posted 16September, 2012 Report Share Posted 16September, 2012 Amanda, you should see Carver's boxster. We caught up today with Doish and it is an awesome blue colour. I would recommend that colour if you can find one. Very nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caver Posted 16September, 2012 Report Share Posted 16September, 2012 Hi everyone...Stephen, you have my alias wrong. Drop the "r". It's "Caver"...what I get up to on weekends, along with canyoning, skydiving and climbing. Amanda, my Boxster is Midnight Blue. It really catches the light. From some angles it looks black, then a rich deep blue and sometimes a slight purple tinge. The interior is black and Madison Blue. As soon as I saw it I was hooked.

Hey Caver..I think I found one in that combo for sale on carsales last night! It looked good to I thought. Does it drive you mad keeping it clean tho? is your interior like this one? Looks great!

Caver Posted 17September, 2012 Report Share Posted 17September, 2012 Yes, that's it except that the silver sections in the photo above are black on my car. Being a non "S", the instrument faces are also black. The steering wheel is blue. If I can work out how to embed images like you are doing, I'd show you. I also replaced the ashtray with the "non smokers kit". The panel in the centre console which holds the ashtray is replaced with a neat storage bin. It's just beside the handbrake. I also wired up my garage door opener to one of the spare switches in that panel. It's kinda neat having that integrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi David, I haven't heard of that non smokers kit, if you could post a photo that would be great and if you can recall where you got it from even better. The little lid on mine is a pain in the butt and keeps popping open so I would like to replace that set up. The silver sections on that consul area from Amanda's photo looks quite good I think. Your blue steering wheel is a nice option. Would you like a PM to assist with posting photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 17September, 2012 Report Share Posted 17September, 2012 Oh is that what that storage bin is. I have seen it in some cars and not others, I was confused as to what it was! And the remote for the garage is a fantastic idea! There seems to be many unused buttons that can be used like this. Those silver parts, are they painted? Looks like something that could be easily damaged with wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO...The more I look at that cockpit the more I think the blue wheel would top it off nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
withers Posted 17September, 2012 Report Share Posted 17September, 2012 I also noticed on one of the forums (might be rennlist 964 forum) that many are buying these steering wheels off eBay and having them recovered and padded up to make them a bit more comfortable to hold. They come up great.. and costs a few hundy $. Great idea if your SW is looking a bit tired.. although you might need a spare one if your car is a daily driver whilst it's being recovered.
