This page is where we post about work we've done on Porsche cars.
porsche day
July 2020.
On Sunday 12 July a bunch of our Porsche friends visited our new shop in Mt Edgecombe. This was not an official Porsche Club KZN meet, just a bunch of us getting together to admire each other's cars whilst practicing social distancing in a responsible manner.

Red gt3rs ppf
July 2020.
This stunning beauty came in for our clear self-healing paint protection film, full frontal package. You can follow the step-by-step application process on the left front fender in the slideshow above. To protect against road rash and stone chips, PPF application is a no-brainer, especially on an expensive sportscar like this.

black 996gt3 mk2
July 2020.
This black GT3 came to us looking rather tired, covered in ugly swirl marks and surface scratches due to improper car-wash techniques. Our paint-correction process and pts106 glaze had this baby looking top notch again...

lime essence
January 2020.
The owner of this black Cayenne also owns an Aston Martin in the colour "Lime Essence". He was very specific about having his Cayenne wrapped to match the Aston Martin. Since this colour is not available as standard from any of the vinyl manufacturers, we achieved a colour match by printing the base colour on printable vinyl using our large format printer, followed by a metallic sparkle over-laminate. The result speaks for itself...

sperm whale
December 2017.
During early 2017 we got ourselves a Cayenne GTS and promptly named it the "Sperm Wale". Of course we modified it ever so slightly, ECU software tune to wake up the V8's performance a tad (done in-house), 35% anti smash & grab and re-coated the wheels in black chrome (a colour we developed). Excellent vehicle if you don't mind its fuel consumption. We even slapped "Track Taxi" stickers on it and took passengers around the track during our Dezzi track days! Sold it too soon to a fellow enthusiast...

tron design 718
July 2017.
This car was a gift from a father to his son who was fighting leukemia. Our brief was to create a TRON theme for the car that was not over-the-top. We believe we achieved that, as you can see from the slideshow above. The 718 became another goal to fight for and we're happy to report that the kid eventually beat the dreaded disease...

944 turbo
April 2016.
This 944 Turbo came to our old Clairwood shop for an appearance refurb. As cleaning progressed we discovered bad rust on the lower front fenders, so we removed the fenders, cut the rusted areas out, welded in new panels and repainted the fenders, along with the front bumper. We also re-coated the brake calipers and replaced the vinyl stone guards on the rear fenders, as well as the Porsche decal on the rear valance, which was created in-house.
The car looked years younger after paint correction, pts106 glazing and detailing.

our yellow gt3
February 2016.
In early 2013 we acquired this low mileage 996 GT3 Mk2. We kept it standard for the most part and enjoyed the car for what it was - An impeccable machine in tip-top condition, known as one of the neatest 996 GT3s in Durban for as long as it was in our hands and pampered by us. The car gave us many happy miles in road trips, track days, breakfast runs, social events and trade show displays. In February 2016 we sold it to a collector. A truly spectacular car!
