Caver Posted 5August, 2013 Report Share Posted 5August, 2013 Replaced the old tail lights with new ones. Simple modification and noticeable difference making the rear end new looking again. Doish...the Porsche shield on the wheel cap isn't pointing to the valve...immediate action required! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Tony Posted 6August, 2013 Report Share Posted 6August, 2013 I replaced the plastic interior door handles with black aluminium handles.. the plastic ones, particularly the passenger door seems to have softened with time.. it would bend and almost feel as though it would snap off if pulled too hard.. the new ones are subtle and blend in. Worthwhile update Previous owner also put steel accelerator, brake and clutch pedals that looked terrible. Replaced with stock rubber/plastic. The momo shift knob that was on there is also gone. Replaced with an original looking 915 shift knob. Small things which to me have improved the look of the interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 7August, 2013 Report Share Posted 7August, 2013 Looking good mate, cant wait to see it in the flesh! (ps. glad to hear you managed to get the shifter off!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Tony Posted 7August, 2013 Report Share Posted 7August, 2013 Looking good mate, cant wait to see it in the flesh! (ps. glad to hear you managed to get the shifter off!) Thanks. Likewise with your SC. Hopefully at the next coffee catch up that gets organised. Hopefully will have the 930 wheels on by then too The handles were a fiddly job with the C clips that hold the rod that pivots the handle. I cant lay claim to removing the shift knob myself. I decided to take the car in for a service mainly for peace of mind and had the mechanic grind it off.. Ive also replaced the large tipped muffler with an M&K 1 in 1 out. I think the new muffler sounds very good and a much more reasonable noise level. Thanks to Doish on the recommendation If anyone wants a 100mm outlet Monty muffler, let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 7August, 2013 Report Share Posted 7August, 2013 I like those door handles, where did you buy them ? I repaired the chips in the windscreen. Easy job, buy the kit and follow the instructions. Fixed a wayward blinker unit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 9August, 2013 Report Share Posted 9August, 2013 Not exactly "done" to the car yet, but I scored a Cup shifter with risers, short shift and the blue cup cables! Sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatSix Posted 9August, 2013 Report Share Posted 9August, 2013 I hope it was a tasty caramello! I dropped mine off at Eurotune today for an inspection so I know what needs the most attention. Either way its going to hurt I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
