My new Cayman

Looks great buddy... really good looking mods. I cannot wait to hopefully get mine next week, would like to do some similar things, espcially the GT3 grill...

How about black headlight surrounds?

I found some carbon fibre ones for sale several months ago and did consider buying and painting

Thanks matey! Good luck with yours if you use Facebook have a look at the Porsche Cayman S Club page, there's quite a lot who have recently done the grill mod

lol how a few months change, no dermal get the jigsaw out :-O , scary job :-)

Lol, bloody typical I had a B&Q leaflet in the post this morning with an offer on for Dremels & also the Bosch all rounder. The jigsaw was a bit scary especially as I was using the wrong blade for plastic so it bounced around a bit.

I reckon a set of these LED sidelights and grill guards would suit yours.

I do like those! Have you got them wired as DRLs or on the fog light switch?

I've wired them to the side light connection. You can hard wire them as DRL's but I didn't want to break into the loom.

They look very aftermarket imho.

I fitted a neat grill kit that sat behind the horizontal fins and looked very subtle/OEM.

Yes. No offence intended, just my opinion, hence use of 'imho' to indicate I'm offering an opinion.

You don't need to break into the loom, inserting a simple diode in the light switch does the trick. This now makes me want to get some of those LED spars now

None taken.

[Yidwann]

And I would disagree, I think they look quite neat... And not a cheap bolt on afterthought!

Where did you get the grille kit from. Could you post a picture please?

There was a chap on Planet9 (J_Copeland) who was fabricating a nice little kit, don't know if he is still about or not...

Looks good. Thanks.

Finally got round to fitting the OEM short shifter that I bought last summer. Quite time consuming removing the centre console but very rewarding to have done it myself and saved a lot by not having to pay someone's labour rate.
Very happy with the feel of the shift now - how it should be

[wulfy66]

Fitted the Goodridge hoses (green of course), Brembo race fluid & GT3 brake ducts
