What did you do in/on/for your Porsche today?

Silver screws are the new 'orange badge' for detail freaks

[911hillclimber]

Seeing as I started the Screw-Gate topic; you will find black on black grills equally on other cars as silver on black, just take some time looking at images of the cars on Google.
I posted my comment simply as I felt Porsche would have used black on black simply for a better co-ordination of the look.

If silver with black grills is correct so be it, but I can point to 3 x 2.4S cars at very high selling prices in the UK with black on black, maybe this means it is right or wrong.

I recall a post some years ago about the number of holes per given area that was correct on a 911 roof lining, maybe I've trumped that!

With the desire to get things totally right, with the right overspray in places and the right stipple of finishes, the right routing of tubes and wires, I've added screws.
Something else will come along soon.

Amuses me though as very little is correct on my 911 as those who know the car can attest, and I have little passion for the right grommet in the right place.

But my Bitza does has black screws on black grills. , but the wrong engine, wrong box, wrong seats, wrong carpets, wrong paint, wrong wheels, a cloth sunroof (that is wrong), wrong hand of steering and just so much more.

My money is on Gary and original Porsche brochure oh, and Essen. Think the black screws were perhaps silver originally and gone rusty... can't believe I'm biting

[Bigfoot]

Might do one black and one silver, that'll get you talking

Cross head or slot head.......?

Even Porsche gets it wrong sometimes, admit it: silver screws, sugar scoops and over-riders...

[Winston Teague]

Every now and then we all should read Bootsy's first post in this thread!

I ordered bigger arb and some other stuff to,hopefully make the commute/school run/daily use journeys even better. W

What I did for my Porsche today was defend it

Rusty screws, scoops, over riders and......large flag mirrors inc one on the passenger side. Oh! Also ex sporto, ex sepia.

Mick, you know we love everything about your car ..... except the sugar scoops .. You and Richard can sit in Sugar Scoops corner at Spa

although , if you look at the trend ... EX sepia , EX sporto ... now just need EX sugar scoops ..



( I shouldnt talk .. my car hasn't even made it out of the garage on a roadtrip for years )

[grannysmith]

Thank you fellas, very nice of you to say so.

I have to say though James that there is more chance of a sepia/sporto return than a headlight swap. I like em that much!

[Sam]

Don't listen to them Mick. You're ahead of the trend, they're stuck in the past.

[dogbower]

Perhaps we can start a new forum for the wise folks who love the scoop, especially on a car painted the wrong colour

[911hillclimber]

Calendar shot surely?
There must be more 'wrong' cars than 'right' ones, esp on DDK
Your front plate reminds me why I took mine off many moons ago.

Mrs B was driving our 356 on Sunday evening around the country lanes near us with a worried passenger! This passenger was asking obnoxious questions like what is the oil pressure/oil temp? Are they at acceptable levels? At one point he close his eyes and lets out an fook me when Mrs B gets without inchs of a car coming from the other direction. This is results in Mrs B pulling over and telling the passenger if he doesn't like the driving to take over.

After 10 mins and things have cooled off a bit I try to explain to Mrs B that although I agree with her that the other car was being dick. They should of given her more room but they aren't the one driving a 60+ year old car. This car was owned for nearly 50 years by the previous owner without incident and it would be very nice if we don't crash it that so someone else, in another 50 years, got to enjoy the car as much as us!
