    Re: Finally - I am a Boxster owner !!!

    Thanks for all the good whishes.

    Yes - its' GT Silver, Cocoa full leather and Cocoa top.

    Yes - the rollbars are painted in exterior color (GT Silver)

    And - as you can see on the pictures - I did get the chrome tailpipe in the end...

    Thanks, first decent shots of the chrome tailpipe. Glad I ordered it, it looks great and a little bit more flared at the edges than the standard pipe.

    Cheers,

    Your car looks great Nightshade. It is a little hard to see the brake calipers on the rear, do you have spacers installed?

    Congrats - first one who noticed.

    My dealer sold me some 1 cm spacers for the real wheels....

    Perfect, nice to see 19" wheels on the Boxster. The 18" look too small.

    How will the spacer affect the chassis performance in a positive way? It certainly does give it an aggressive stance though. Congrats!

    Re: Finally - I am a Boxster owner !!!

    Congrats to your new Boxey. The chrome tailpipe looks phenomenal. I'll definitely order one soon. I also like the omission of the model and type... nicely understated. Had that specc'ed for my original order as well.
    Go drive!

    CONGRATS Nightshade !!
    Nearly my spec, including the spacers, had noticed them too.
    If the dealer sold them to you, I reckon they will be PORSCHE ORIGINALS, so they have to be 17 mm for the rear, and 5 mm (like mine) or nothing for the front !!
    Did the car eventually come WITH the Chrome Endpipe ??
    Lucky for you, now you DID WORRY for nothing, BETTER that way !!
    What do YOU think of the EXTRA GOODIES in Cocoa Leather ??
    I think that they are really worth it, REALLY NICE !!
    ENJOY your car in GOOD HEALTH !!

    @Freak 2
    I just got spacers on the back. My dealer confirmed that they are original Porsche parts.
    The tailpipe was not mounted on the car when it got to my dealer. But he managed to get one in chrome. I have to pay extra for this - but as I also got the original tailpipe to sell on ebay the damage will be not to mention in the end (I surely will find a 987 owner interested in the "S" pipe). Especially compared to the overall price of the whole car. I didn't wanted to argue but to get my car they way I was waiting for it for the last 6 months...
