Popular Post Spykee Posted August 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2019 Afternoon everyone, I've not long joined the forum so thought I'd post a few pics and the current specs of my car: Modifications are: TechArt front lip TechArt side skirts Getty RS rear wing base (for a duck tail look) H&R lowering springs Wheel spacers (F 7mm/R 15mm) RS60 Spyder exhaust tips in brushed alloy finish PORSCHE badging on the rear bumper under the ducktail. Smoothed front bumper Front fog light spars in black ZunSport front grill covers Kidney grills in black PPF on the front bumper and lip (hence colour looking slightly different in the pics) Refurbed alloys in Sterling/Hyper Silver LED rear lights OEM Sport Design steering wheel (replaced the original triangular PCM wheel) Mods in the near future: Short shift kit (still trying to decide what to go for) Cayman R instrument cluster canopy delete Valved exhaust system Mods when I get more time after the house move: IPD plenum kit & remap HIP Design engine cover Paint the inlet manifolds so they look good under the clear cover I'm sure that some of the modifications will be taken like Marmite but I love it every time I look at it and drive it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougle_turbo Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Very tidy! More pictures of the wing please. I'd like a duck tail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm987 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Very clean and tasteful. That wheel fitment is spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenfourate Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thats awesome. Love it. You have great taste in my eyes. I think it's all pretty classy and done in what i'd call an OEM+ style; meaning if Porsche had the balls in the first place - this is how it might have looked ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Spykee Posted August 6, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2019 Thanks for the kind words, the OEM+ look is what I always aim to achieve whenever I modify a car and I wanted the Cayman to have the GT styling in parity with the 997 and 991. I wanted it to look modified but in a way that it could have been something that came from the factory. I did the same with my S2000 too, which is what the Cayman replaced. Here are a few more pics of the car including the ducktail. I'm still wondering whether to put risers and a wing on the ducktail wing base for the full GT3 style look. Taken a few days ago: Taken in the Black Mountains, Wales on New Years Day An older ones before the wheel refurb when they were in GT Silver 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougle_turbo Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Really lovely. Tinted rear quarters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spykee Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 They're not actually Dougle, I think its just the light. I thought about tinting them as well as the rear window but with what I have planned it would be daft as you wouldn't see the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spykee Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 I had a bit of a fettle with the car on Monday. The trim piece arrived to do the Cayman R / Boxster Spyder canopy delete so I fitted that... It was a pretty easy job. If anyone else is interested in doing this: First pull off the trim under the instrument cluster - takes a little tug pulling from underneath the thinner section below the rev counter. Then its 2x T20 torx screws under the cluster itself. The cluster itself is held in with two metal retaining clips directly behind it. I found that it hung on quite hard so it took putting on a set of fabric workshop gloves to get enough grip. You then have to remove remove the blue multi plug from the back of the instrument cluster - works on a hinged arm that rotates outwards and down in a 180 degree radius that ejects the plug. Cluster was bloody filthy - played havoc with my OCD! Then remove the other 7x torx screws from the top area of instrument canopy - the two at the bottom closer to the centre and the steering column don't need removing. Once the canopy is removed its just a case of dropping the new trim piece in place and putting it all back together. I've had some interesting comments on Facebook about this so again I think its a bit of a Marmite mod! I'm going to get the Meteor silver painted in either GT Silver or the Aluminium Silver that the central dash trim strip is painted in but as the cluster needs dismantling to do it I'll do that when I change the colour of the dials over the winter when the car is off the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
