I finally got one

[Mikey]

Hi everyone, so I finally found “the one”, an unloved 07 2.7 gen 1, ding in the side, rubbish wheels, but, only 48k miles, FSH from Porsche mains and the last 2 from a specialist, went through an independent inspection by an independent Porsche specialist with flying colours and got a really good deal....

 

so far I have:

 

Had the ding removed from rear wheel arch, respray the rear quarter, rear bumper and bonnet....  bought new 18in rims to replace the 17’s, had them done in Titan grey, slung some new f1 assymetric 5’s on, had the centre tunnel dipped in gloss carbon fibre, rear armrest, handbrake handle, gear knob and boot done in alcantara to match the inner on the seats.....  the bodywork has been mopped, polished and ceramic coated and it looks amazing!!!!  Also done an LeD upgrade internally...

 

So far, I am in at 12500, and that’s including the car so I got a really good deal as you can see...

 

booked in to have a sports exhaust fitted to improve the growl, air filter and then it’s going in for dyno tuning, not to increase power as such, but to improve the responsiveness and torqueiness...

 

Anyway, here is the question, the front fogs are yellow colour bulbs which do date it a bit, is there an easy upgrade or alternative build that can be fitted easily to update the look a bit?

 

I am well chuffed with the car as you can probably tell.....

 

any help with the lighting issue would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

That's a cracking deal, well done! Really glad you've made it happen, you won't regret it!

@Mikey, sounds like you got a bargain, and straight to work with it to. Would be interested to see how your centre tunnel turned out with the carbon dip as I’ve pondering for some time to do something with mine, any chance of some pics please
