Since the last pics I have added a Momo Steering wheel, new stereo, little insert for the gear **** and of course some Boxster 'S' Alloys - the rears are now 255/40/17's

Looking good Dave (I saw on Titanic you were after wheels). Dare I say it needs some air letting out between the tyres and the arches now though...?

It's looking good.One thing that stands out like a sore thumb though is that orange side repeater-I'm not normally one for styling but I think it would make the world off difference on your car.

Hey I'm the only one allowed a little shiny insert on my ****.

Wheels look nice Dave, but not a patch on these:




edited to put damn photo in correctly!

Why is the black one so much longer than all the others?

Special Edition for 6ft 6in people.

Superb looking cars, how the hell do you keep that light interior looking so good?

Simple, the other colours washed their cars too much and they shrunk.

Have you made any progress with the rebuild yet?

Hi Paul,

I just don't have time for Titanic, SN nd Cupra.net (I drive a chipped Ibiza every day now).

The Scooby cost so much to run that I couldn't fund the rebuild, then the house took over. I've pretty much consoled myself with the 330bhp & 300lb/ft it used to make from 2.5 litres rather than go 2.8, 3.0 or 3.2, so I can hopefully get it on a track this summer. I'm into the thing £20k already, but I can't justify making that £30k+.

I know what you mean, far too many BBS's

I struggle to keep up with Rennlist & Pistonheads as it is.

Luckily our little runaround was stolen ( Metro Gti ) so I had to drop performancemetro.com

Hope you get the sex beast on track this year

I helped Davyboy (who started this thread) change his Scooby for a 944 Turbo. He came onto Titanic looking for help and I live less than a mile from him

Thumbs up

I have a lead crystal 911 which I can photograph if you want . Those boxster wheels do suit the 944 and fill the arches nicely. Must be a nightmare to keep that white interior clean. No kids with chocs,drinks and sweet I bet

Well leather does clean easier!

The carpet can get a bit grubby, but everything comes clean with a good valet.

I just use it, get it dirty and clean it.

Mine has the same interior (and 153k on the clock), which is more cream than white. I have floor mats and a boot mat, and it isn't too difficult to keep things clean.

Not mine I'm afraid; a mate is a plate dealer and my car is a place to 'park'it...

My interior is the same cream as Fen and Davyboys (common or what?) and I have two youngish children. They are inserted into the car wearing the appropriate Ducktape restraining tape

C'mon Gastro - I really want to see pics of yours. You'll have to bring it to a meet too.
