I have now owned the Boxster 2+ years & there were a few things that needed sorting some cosmetic, others mechanical.
The suspension creaked like my bones on a cold morning & OPC & I couldn't work out from where. So I used Brooklands Kent in Swanley & gave them a massive list! Just picked it up & very very happy!
Some before & after pics.

They will be when the front pads bed in! Interesting dilemma it is a Boxster S so bigger red callipers as standard. Yet Chris @ Brooklands said the callipers are black underneath the red paint :?
The yella is an Aston Martin colour though.

Looks very nice Jim

The yellow calipers look great against those wheels

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh

See you soon, G
