I had added auto headlights a while back and just swapped out the switch case to this Audi one with the “Auto” on the bezel and much nicer looking ****. Nice aesthetic upgrade for cheap

@monochrom3 I love those kind of little QoL improvements. Doubly so when you add an aesthetic improvement along with. You’ll probably feel a little relief every time you (don’t) touch your headlight switch :-D



All my parts are in for the .2 bumper. I dropped my bumper yesterday to add the center radiator. Well, I guess technically I did it twice because a circlip popped and I dumped coolant everywhere. Oh well. Better to happen in the garage than on the road. I know they’re all fitted well now.

Took a short drive to meet friends (another non owning, currently, Porsche enthusiast) for brunch, then hit the grocery story to fill the fronk with bags and now I'm polishing out some scratches and prepping the paint for ceramic.....

Installed new OE engine mounts, new BMC filters, and cleaned the throttle body. Later went for a drive.

Well, it was yesterday, but I took it to Porsche for its very first visit at least under my ownership, and had the spark plugs changed, and the brakes serviced as far as fluid and such. Said the car looked great, it needs to have all its recommended services basically updated but he said nothing was pressing and just get everything caught up over the next few years.…

I cleaned the wheels and parts of the interior and removed the no longer needed telephone module from under the passenger seat, along with two hazelnuts, a dried fig, several candy bar wrappers, and two gummy bears. No cash found unfortunately. I also printed some tools for measuring the thickness of brake pads and rotors. Fronts are good, rears still sufficient at approx 22.7mm rotor thickness and 3.5mm brake pad remaining.

I was going to replace my clutch cylinders and some other bits, but I got distracted again and bought another one!

Sold some parts, solved a P0456 error with a new gas cap, changed interior lights to blue LED, polished the EVO aluminum badge on my 996 intake, ate some gummy bears.

Any list of the types and quantity of led bulbs needed to swap all of them out?
