The day began with an early morning email from DHL informing me that the Porsche parts I ordered would be delivered today. Awesome!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/p1.png\"><\/p>\n<p>eBay also joined the party and sent me an email to let me know that they&#8217;ve shipped the parts!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/p2.png\"><\/p>\n<p>In the spirit of Diwali, I have decided to give the lights of my Porsche a makeover. Some irresponsible detailer during the previous ownership had run the polisher on the lights resulting in horrible scratches on the lenses. I tried to get them corrected but it was of no use &#8211; plus the front lenses also developed weather\/age related fade and cracks &#8211; due, I&#8217;m sure, to outdoor parking. Porsche parts are so uncomfortably expensive to buy and I am sure, except for me, nobody notices or cares about the scratches and fading. Eventually I decided to pull the trigger as I couldn&#8217;t put up with the sight much longer and did not wish to be reminded of that donkey who ran the polisher over the lights.<\/p>\n<p>Tail lights and floor mats have arrived &#8211; pretty smooth delivery experience including customs, just took 3 days end to end.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/p3_0.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/p4.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/p5.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<p>For the front headlights, which are insanely expensive, I am going to attempt the lens replacement alone. Have read a few success stories on the internet and decided to order replica lenses from eBay.
