See i have an R and the side vent accents on the R are of a specific colour (mine being silver accents on black car), therefore carbon would mess with the R vibe. Would you consider adding to your portfolio a product like seen @ https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/788975-cgt-style-headlight-bi-xenon-projectors-retrofit-kit-for-996-and-986-a.html Thanks Julian Hi Julian, I totally understand, although others prefer the carbon look...but it’s to expensive do multiple moulds/materials and I can’t afford the investment right now. Hopefully in the future if business grows! Regarding the other items shown sadly it’s not of my interests/competence/skills I must say....but I’ve thing i want to do us expand my business and touch the 981/997 platforms in the future hopefully 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanny71 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Andrea, I’ve just stumbled across this whilst browsing old threads, like what you are doing and wish you well. Your website shows aftermarket bucket seat brackets but I presume they won’t fit OEM buckets. Bit of a long shot but have you considered doing a set of brackets to lower/adjust the position of folding bucket seats found in Cayman R/Spyder/GT cars? Internet searches show there is some demand but very limited options (Tarett in US but they are expensive and agricultural looking). There is a neat solution available for the full carbon buckets but it’s not compatible with the folding buckets.

Cheers Hi Swanny, thanks for the kind words! correct, they are only for aftermarket ones. What you say can be done but keep in mind that R&D on seats (and seating position) is an intense and extensive job! I don’t have stock bucket seats, it would require one of you guys to let you work on your car 😂 sorry anyone, I’ll be soon posting more updates of the current stage of the parts, as some of you has seen final production samples have now been produced! So excited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Andrea Posted September 7, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Sorry everyone for not posting much on here, as some of you know I tend to do most updates on Instagram. These are the first 2 samples manufactured, they both need testing before production can start but so far I'm happy. It's all happening and fingers crossed tests will go well as I've had a huge request (didn't expect this much interest!!) on all the designs. So I'm determined to deliver. Once the manufacturer sends me these I'll be installing them on my car and report on here and Insta. Hope you like what you see so far. Cheers Edited September 21, 2020 by Andrea 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteslag Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'm not normally one for spoilers and all that kind of thing but that duck tail looks epic. I might have to have one if and when you go to production. It gives the car a retro sort of look. Love it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liongolfer Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 That is a very sexy ducktail. Will you be developing side skirts and something for the rear bumper (not valence) as well to have a "single" line front to back with the front lip? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well everything is possible but moulds/parts development is expensive so I can only look into those later on I'm afraid. If business grows then I'd be happy to also expand and touch the 981/718/997/996 platforms of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is featured in the current issue of Porsche & 911 (article written prior to my ownership) and it would be great to build on the work they have done in respect of engine and suspension enhancement with a few carefully selected cosmetic enhancements! They had the tray in front of the windscreen finished in a black carbon type finish, if I could replicate that on the front lip (and maybe the rear wing) I think it would look great. Black offsets the midnight blue very well in my eye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrea Posted September 30, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 Update: Fitting tests, so far great! The ducktail follows perfectly the tailgate shapes! Even better than my R stock wing! Next step will be painting and bolting it! Stay tuned! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andrea Posted October 15, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 UPDATE: Ducktail has now been painted and I should fit it this weekend (weather permitting!). I'm extremely excited as it has been an incredible journey. I'd like to say that PDI isn't just another aftermarket part. I have a huge vision for the 987 platform and I want to create a culture around it. It's a big dream of course, it will take time, effort and lots of ups and downs indeed. But whether the Cayman maybe lacks in power compered to a 911, there is room for it's own world when it comes to status and character (if this makes sense). Such an underrated car than in my eyes needs and can show a huge potential in different ways. As you can see from some of my renders, I think this truly resonates with those who have been following me from day one. I've met amazing people so far, PDI isn't just a business. Again I feel it's a small community of likeminded people! Hope you enjoy what you see as much as I do! (proud moment here 😀) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
