Looks great, mind me asking was it expensive and where did you end up getting it done? What the time scale and quality like?

Weather was great today. With working from home I just had to get out a drive!

So our daughter, Myla, arrived 9 weeks ago and has had many outings in the car - the Cybex seat has worked great.

I actually picked Myla and my wife up from the hospital, so her first ever car journey was in this - I think that's pretty cool!

It's just turned 70k mile's, and its been daily driven now all this year, life is just too short to not use it!

So, recently my rear lights started to fog up, I tried everything to save them but eventually they were like fish tanks. It’s a common issue as the clear section is glued into the red and the glue fails over time.

Porsche are £1400 a pair (BOKE). But after some research I round the OEM manufacturer to be ULO. These are around £850 a pair.

I got a pair from Latvia ordered for £650, but they got lost in the post lol

Then on Monday, carparts4less (euros cheap wing) showed stock and had a Halloween discount. £629 delivered! BOOM!

Good find but still, that's some money for a set of rear lights! The joys of Porsche ownership I guess

And I thought £150 for a new Valeo LED taillight for a 5 Series was pricey🤔

Funny I was thinking that’s not too bad too, the gts rear light for my cayman are @500 and I thought that was pretty ok!

The new ones look great

So it’s new tyre time! The rears have just about hit the wear indicator.

Going to go with @Woodcutter ’s PS4S recommendation. Heard great things! Will update when I get them fitted.

Theyre soooo good. I now have too much grip on the back and not enough up front; so I’ve ordered a pair for the front which I hope will be getting fitted next week.

Keen to hear what you think of them.

My only criticism is the fact the tyre wall looks quite skinny compared to the Contis that were on.

Ordered now through McMillan who interestingly were very competitive. They know how to deal with the CenterLocks. Will be here 5th Jan - Good times!
