I bought the grill mesh fom Halfords for £24 and used the old black ones (which I fitted last year) as a template.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Here's another picture of the front end after the respray and new chrome grill mesh (the previous was black)
Looks the business now
Just wish it was as easy to upload these pictures!!
Oh all right - last picture
Here's one wheel before refurb.
There is bad corrosion where they split
The after photo isn't too good so will take another one and post later
I have seen people driving around with what i think is called a 'car bra' which i guess is to avoid stone chips. Maybe its possibly to get a colour coded one and leave it on?
The bonnet was £150 and the bumper was £125 (or it could be the other way round)
I bought the grill mesh fom Halfords for £24 and used the old black ones (which I fitted last year) as a template.
The wheels cost around £110 each (would have been £60 for non-split rims) as they had to be sand blasted first.
In total I paid £780 and that included having the sensors done and the grills meshes replaced
I thought that was a bargain
It was done at Raw Wheels in Fulford, York

Oh, I don't know Paul. I think I've added a couple of thousand to the resale value!!
Just need a buyer now and sell Jane's Boxster and I might have enough.
Or I could get Daniel to leave college and get a job!!

Why bother fitting something that looks awful, when you can get 3M stone protection film fitted that's nigh-on invisible? I'd have thought the cost was pretty comparable. [8|]
I have to say that a region 19 member has something like armourall or something, a thin clear vinyl film over the front of his 993 and unless you get really close you can't see the edge, and it is a light colour. Also remarkably, over the many years I have known this member the film shows no sign of yellowing or cracking with age. The owner tells me that this paint protection is expensive, but how it compares to the cost of a much more visible bra I have no idea. Personally I don't like the bra but each to his own.
