Black wheels go so well with the Miami Blue. Dat rear.

Yeah... if I'd specced it, I'd have probably ended up with the platinum wheels... but the black wheels were the right choice... they contrast the blue better and they match the satin black trim parts.

Well...booked mine in today for investigation on some tiny niggles. Let's see how porsche service compares to bmw!

Hmm. I quite like this -

I would miss my 5.5L V8.

I'd recommend aiming for the 3.4 S model.

The 2.7 is still a good engine... but the 3.4 is much better. The extra torque really helps... I actually found myself getting worse fuel economy from the 2.7 too... but that's because I had to push it more to progress.

Is there anywhere I can buy some decent aftermarket extended shift paddles? I'm finding the standard ones a bit short and having to move my hand to shift, where I'd rather just move a finger to flick... Some really nice aftermarket carbon thingies would be awesome but have no idea where to look...

Seems like a lot of cash to spend on a 2.7 Boxster to me. I guess the body kit is quite rare, but apart from that there are almost no options on it.
