I have always loved the details you find on many of the sporty Porsche models. One of which is the colour matched seat-belts. I have been looking for a while for a company that could take the original belts and re-web them in blue to match the car. I had seen a few companies offering this service but one stood out as having great reviews and a great service also. This company was Kolour Koncept. I started by sourcing a replacement set of belts so I could send them off without my car being left out of action.  Just look at what they sent back!Read More →

So my car came with some BBS VZ033 wheels, very similar to the Edition 30 wheels but are slightly wider and don’t have the lettering on the face. However they didn’t come with the original centre caps. Thankfully I found a set on eBay brand new for about £60 delivered. Unfortunately after about 3 months the metal caps started to lift. I sent them back to the supplier who kindly replaced them for a new set. No such luck. After 3 months, the same thing happened again. I didn’t think that the supplier would replace them again, so I looked for a solution. It seemsRead More →
