It was a few years ago. @CR0911 I have had a look and they are manufactured in Italy by Edil G Plast, I like them as they stop the car but can also drive over them.

Fishcop Posted 28August, 2021 Report Share Posted 28August, 2021 I don't know which PPF you went with @Harry, but the original Xpell still on my 18 year old 996 remains superb and still deletes light scratches with the touch of a heat-gun. Amazing stuff and I'm thankful an original owner chose to put it on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9fan Posted 29August, 2021 Report Share Posted 29August, 2021 Sold the 968 - parting shots. 😪 24 years difference but so many similarities. Both have outstanding cornering abilities with weight balance and fantastic Period performance. both cars have similar beautiful lines and stance. Stats - 968 1993 - Engine 4 cylinder 3lt NA, Accel 0-100kph 6.0secs, Front engine rear transaxle approx 50/50 weight balance, Gearbox Manual 6 speed. 718 2017 Cayman S - Engine 4 cylinder 2.5lt Turbo, Accel 0-100kph 3.8secs, Mid engine approx 50/50 weight balance, Gearbox Dual clutch auto paddle shift 7 speed. At least the shear joy of driving the 968 will continue in the 718. Raven, sleazius, Niko and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilburforce Posted 4September, 2021 Report Share Posted 4September, 2021 Sent my SC to the mechanic for its annual wash - got it back yesterday with new Boxster brakes on 3.2 rotors. Also swapped out my classic Wevo into the 69 and got a new racey looking Wevo with a fancy knob in the SC. All dressed up and nowhere to drive..

OZ930 Posted 4September, 2021 Report Share Posted 4September, 2021 Drove it to rego inspection station, then to rego office, then reverse to home.....probably close to 30km all up.(didn’t check) Can’t wait until next year 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
