New wheels and refurbished seats !
Have not posted any pics of car for a bit 
New wheels - boxster twists 8.5x17 et50 and 7x17 et50 fitted with nice pirrelli p zero assymetric n2 rated tyres.
And my seats which were well worn and ripped in two places have been nicely refurbished,yeah the colour is really impractical but lifts the interior nicely.
All i need now is to find some replacement marine blue mats (£££)
Any sources?
cheers stu

Looks very nice. I like the piping on the seats for contrast.
As far as practical...find me a 911 owner who can say with honesty that they are a practical fellow.

Cheers ,got seats refurbed at leathercare renovations warrington nr manchester.
http://www.leathercare-renovations.co.uk/index.htm
reccommended by our own J.boggiano
I would check how busy they are as they took over 2 weeks to do them-most of the delay was getting the match for the colour leather.
Had to be imported from Austria "light grau" -light grey
Only two damaged sections needed replacing the majority of the seats were stripped and re-finished,the piping which is blue was repainted using special paint.They also swapped over the seat backs to even out the wear.
Just need to do the handbrake now!

Total cost for both front seats was £282.
A lot cheaper than having them both re-faced.
I was quoted by a local upholstery firm £450 to have them both refaced but they could not match the colour leather or come anywhere near close to it;also they could not get from anywhere the pinholed leather for the seat bases.
Aparrently porsche chose unique leather colours/hides.
Leathercare gave me a free sample peice of the genuine leather and it was priced at £60 per square foot-pinholed stuff the same price,to use that to completely cover both front seats would be aprrox £1500 ! (could not justify that!)
But should look good for a few more years.
As a footnote if my seats had been plain black then i would of had them totally refaced in a ruffle type leather (£25/sq foot)
