As with the cars we create, all our after-
market accessories undergo rigorous
testing during their development. From
design through to approval, we thoroughly
scrutinise important properties, from
safet y to performance and from fitness
for purpose to durability. After all, they
are more than just accessories, they are
part of a harmonious overall concept –
your Porsche. The same applies to one of the highlights
in our range: the 20 -inch SportTechno
wheels painted in GT Silver Metallic. The
sizes of the wheels and t yres have been
maximised so that they finish flush with
the body of the car and give it an even
more imposing appearance. As a mark
of refinement, the spokes and rim have a
highly polished surface finish. The wheel
centres with full - colour Porsche Crest are available with a GT Silver Metallic paint
finish.
Whether you wish to enhance its perfor
-
mance, refine its st yle or add comfort
features, it is never too late to give your
Porsche an extra personal touch.
Whichever Tequipment products you ask
your Porsche Centre to fit, your Porsche will always be the masterpiece that the
developers in Weissach envisaged it to be.
For peace of mind, you can rest assured
that your original warrant y will not be
affected.

Note on the use of winter tyres
Summer t yres provide optimum perfor
-
mance at ambient temperatures above
+7 °C. Below this point, the t yre com -
pound begins to harden and braking
distances are increased. We therefore recommend that you fit winter t yres
during the colder months of the year so
that you can drive your Boxster safe in
the knowledge that it will continue to
meet our high standards for driving safet y
even at low temperatures. All winter t yres approved by Porsche are identified by
an ‘N’ designation on the sidewall. These
t yres are beneficial because they have
been optimised to produce less noise,
rolling resistance is reduced for improved
fuel economy, and, importantly, braking
