Hi all,
Just wanted to say hello, I've re-joined the club after recently buying a 2010 Boxster 987S Gen 2. Having sold my 987 non-S model 2 years ago I let my membership lapse but here I am again with a new (old) car and hoping to join in club events when life returns to some level or normality which looking at the news today maybe another month away.
Car is a 2010 Gen 2 Boxster 987S, 35k miles, manual in fantastic Aqua Blue metallic (same colour as my previous Boxster).
Although the car is in great condition, when I bought the car I was aware of a couple of aspects that over time I'd like to get sorted, these include wheel refurb and address a couple of minor scratches on the bonnet, boot and rear spoiler. Really minor and most wouldn't notice but I'd like to get them sorted. So, I'd like to ask for recommendations please on companies in the South Coast area (preferably Portsmouth area) that could help with this.
Wheel refurb - while most companies use powder coating, I think originally they would have been sprayed silver, so although less durable this is what I'm trying to get arranged - any companies recommended would be appreciated?
Panel respray - fortunately, bonnet, boot and spoiler are complete panels that shouldn't be too difficult for a professional to undertake. Again, if anyone has had such work undertaken, please get in touch so I can get some quotes sorted out.
For now, myself and family (wife Sue and son Martin) are just enjoying the car (yes, they are both on the insurance) but it would be good to get these issues addressed before too long. Hope to see some of you out and about this summer.
Kind regards
Dave

] Like me once buying a car I like to get things sorted. I find if I don't do these jobs straight after purchase they will never get done.
