Just checked with Porsche and they're quoting £4.81ea, maybe it's the nuts used on other models that are £1.80

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Errrr, don't buy second hand wheel bolts unless you are a pikey! They cost about £1.79 each brand new from Porsche. Ring AFN parts or somewhere. They take credit cards and mail out for you. Cheers Domster

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No, definitely not a pikey but the last time I spoke with someone I was quoted about £5+vat and I'd rather spend £94 on a good night at the Dollhouse. Will give AFN a call though, thanks.

POST 5Original post

My mistake, nuts were 1.79, bolts are likely to be a fiver. As a safety-oriented component, I'd always by new to be on the safe side. Second hand ones will be just as rusty at a guess, anyway. For ultimate pikeyness, you could just paint them with some hammerite or something.

POST 6Original post

How can they be rusty - All 'modern' Porsches I've ever seen have Alloy ones which shouldn't rust. Is that a part they skimped on with the Boxster then?

POST 7Original post

OR, you could paint then the same colour as the car OR the interior. A full pike-o-rama.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

stupid question really don't know why I'm bothered about £90, guess just hate forking out for something I think of as a fault. And the full pikey would just nick them probably (or nick mine and sell them back to me).

POST 9Original post

Look out your window Craig... Just Kidding. 8-)

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The bolts on my 97 boxster are absolutely all rusted etc. Anyone got some for sale or know where I can get hold of some good second-hand ones? >>> Edited by craigs on Thursday 29th August 15:34
