Hi, do you have a link to PPF for the rockers on the 718? I can't tell if this is what I am looking for: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123972756390?ul_noapp=true
Good advice! Well done
Is it easy to install the mesh grill if your front bumper has parking sensors?
Great tips (also means I have more excuses to spend quality time with my car when its sat idle) Glad I saw your channel, looking forward to watching your previouse videos and future content. Thanks for your content👍
"POUR-SHA" Please!
Some of the advice goes for all cars, specially because we in the U.K. have too much salt in the air, in the roads during winter and so on and people don’t really wash the underneath of the cars. My Boxster S 987 gets washed once a month religiously and again if I go out and hit bad weather. Preventative maintenance is better than full on garage bills, specially on vehicles like this ones.👍🏼👍🏼😀😀
Great video, any chance you could do similar on a 987?? 🙂
Thank you for the tips
