I am getting mine out of the PPF jail tomorrow. And there will be some Autobahn driving to do...hope I can stick under 4000 rpm and 80 mph. I have no desire to get home with a car just out of a long PPF/valeting session, but full of bugs
And of course, will take some pictures. Hopefully, just before returning, so the car is perfectly clean and shiny.
Mine PPF’d around the badge. Did a great job and you have to look hard to see it.
As someone else stated, it’s probs more work to go round the badge than to remove it.
The likelihood of the actual badges getting scratched is low 🙏

You are absolutely right about how entertainers can get away with a lot of things that we can’t! I just don’t know if “just moving on” is the right course of action when individuals such as the one in question are involved. Marginalizing people shouldn’t appear in car reviews and I wanted to take a moment to call this person out on it. I love how we can all have different thoughts and opinions on so many things but are still unified in our passion for the amazing creations from Stuttgart! I hope you and everyone else here has a fab weekend! 🌟

Took it on a quick 100mph highway burn and they still look the same. The real test will be if they get hit by a rock...

Made a template, cut to size and used a couple zip ties to secure:

brilliant job @tourenwagen

The other day my A/C stopped working (on my Boxster), I got to OPC and it turned out that I had stone damage to my condenser. They promptly replaced both condensers at a cool price of £2000!

The 911 can only be more expensive, so your accessory makes so much sense! Thanks for sharing.

I drove it twice since taking delivery for a total of 213 boring miles. Long Island roads suck. I have a few mini road trips planned, including this Sunday when I take it to Caffeine & Carburetors in New Canaan (for those in the area, this is a great show).

I posted several pics in the T photos thread here, but here's a few here:

I really like your GT stripe!
I am getting a double one for good measure

Cool. Popular color. Don’t trust the Porsha tracker. Mine went from delivery date of 4/1 changed to 6/12 then got my T early May.

I have something interesting for you. Yesterday drove all day in the GT4 RS. I will not review that insane car here. But I would like to share with you and others that I was afraid after steering in that car the T would be boring as hell. It is not. Most fascinating is that the initial steer response on the GT4 RS is pretty much the same as the T. I am not talking about behaving of the car or grip levels. Just simple when you drive in a straight line and you turn the wheel quickly from left to right to free the steering response. I would say it says something good about the T.

Great work! Thanks for the explaining.

I really need my 7th gear to get a 1100km range on screen with my T. That will be my next project.

Unfortunately I don’t understand your question exactly from which point you want it. But I measured the lowest point. Here is the picture. Just let me know if you want it differently.

It is in centimeters. So I think you mean 16cm.

Interesting. A lot of folks trying to DIY their mesh grills for 16 bucks. Folks must be broke now after buying T (not to mention insurance premiums).

I just don’t know. So far, I think you’ve had scratched wheels, scratched PPF on hood, scratched third brake light piece. U may want to wrap every little piece of ur T?!

😄 The scratched alloy occurred in transit from Germany (still waiting for a replacement!!!)
The 3rd brake light was indeed sadly me personally and I cry myself to sleep every night thinking about it!
The roof must have been someone else??

BTW, I should be getting my sub-box added soon. My plan is to add that first. Hopefully, it’s enough. But if not, maybe upgrade some speakers. I really don’t want to spend more than a 1k usd. Will let u know how it goes…
