Interior is tip top, and the whole car looks fresh out of the factory. If the factory did tasteful mods, that is. How did you end up fitting a pair of Boxster seats? Pretty random choice but they look great. Welcome, of course.

Taken you all this time to find a decent car forum Martyn!
I reckon the shaved boot and small bumpers will look awesome, but for the love of god don't satin black it! Satin Pepper Red!!

Agreed. Satin and Matt have been done to death. How about laquered primer?

Thanks guys Seats were in it when I bought it, they're pretty comfy, but sit too low for some passengers ha! I'm not sure what colour its going really, but the red cant stay as its beyond renovation. Serious paint damage over most panels (fading/cracks/scratches) that seem to have come from several bad resprays over the years. No amount of cutting back/wet dry sanding seem to be able to reveal decent paint

Half Term TLC time! Seems as I have a few weeks spare before exams start, I decided to go against what the old dear asked and set about pulling it apart on the front drive! So far, not a great amount acheived (started yesterday), other than my plans of reverting to small bumpers and de-trimming somewhat ruined. Interior being stripped Rear panel wasnt too bad, and with a but of TLC would have been fine with small bumpers, but its whats lurking under the rear arch that suprised me... "trimmed" arches...badly trimmed arches. So trim will have to stay on. While the rear was off I decided to polish the exhuast tips! This also gave me time to admire some more neatly trimmed bodywork.... Before / after So the idea of small bumpers and no trim are kind out the window, so I'm just going back to a OEM look. Trial fitted a standard rear bumper: Still toying with the idea of small bumpers and arch trims, but I don't think arch trims suit the look! Also started to clean up the engine bay Still to come! Run the audio wires along the floor, and refit the carpet. Spray my newly aquired bootlid. Respray/touch up front and rear bumpers Refurb my G60's, probably spraying them anthracite. Polish the paintwork to within and inch of its life to get it as 'red' as it can be, becuase I no longer have the effort to rattle can the whole car!
