Problem fixed.

I asked Carhood Warehouse to send me swatches for black, blue, grey and burgundy which the did very quickly. I already had a grey roof and wanted something different. The burgundy colour is close to the body colour and makes the car look quite different than it did previously. I imagine that they do other colours as well. Give them a ring if you are interested.

Yes the glass is heated and it works. The fitter was able to connect-up to an existing socket behind the passenger head-restraint (presumably for connecting-up the hard-top option). This rear-window heating element is operated by the existing switch for the heated wing-mirrors.

I bought it as a used car from Porsche about two years ago. I did ask them to replace the hood as part of the negotiations however the said that it would cost about £1200 and declined so I didn't take it any further. This one cost £695 fitted including VAT which I thought was pretty good. I would recommend them.

Had my Boxster hood replaced this weekend by those nice people at the Carhood Warehouse in Chessington, Surrey. The old roof was sort of faded-grey with a plastic window that had grown opaque and difficult to see behind whether you were being tailed by Traffic police or just some nutter with a point to prove. I personally think the car looks better with a colour-coded glass-windowed hood as opposed to the previous two-tone crisp packet. Let me know what you think. StevieG

Doz I managed to find this part at: www.porscheshop.co.uk/acatalog/porsche_boxster_lights.html They call it a "Headlight Corner Trim". I ordered a pair however when they turned-up they were transparent rather than amber. I decided to keep them rather than send them back as they looked as they looked OK. Hope this helps Stevie

My reversing lights stay-on regardless as to whether the car is in reverse or not. My car is a Boxster S 2002 and in the 2 years I have owned it, this is the first electrical fault experienced on the car (other than the odd bulb replacement). I assume that the fault is with the reversing sensor and I have removed the reversing light bulbs as a temporary measure. Does anyone else have a view as to what the problem might be and how easy it is to rectify. Regards. Steve
