How much for a set of Spyder wheels too? Factor in the price for those and fitting a/c....plus selling the Turbo 2 wheels on eBay, it might add up ok?

I could only find somewhere in America selling them for £2k a set plus postage and import duty and VAT etc.....and they were in Silver only, no partially painted black ones..........

Wow, I didn't realise they were that rare.

Collected mine on Saturday: manual, buckets, sports exhaust, alcantara wheel..

It's exceeded my expectations so far

That looks absolutely fantastic, congrats.

Why the obsession with the sports exhaust? Gert at Carnewal does the same for 500 euros, and for 1000 euros extra he will install 200 cell racecats bringing the car up to 350-360 bhp no problem.

Nothing like a good clean when you first acquire a new car. I guess you found the ECU as well then.

If the previous owner was having an affair in his Cayman it must have been with a dwarf.......... Not exactly roomy are they.

I found this car for sale on a indy's site about a month ago. Nearly fell off my chair as I love yellow cars and have never seen a yellow one for sale, it's now on Autotrader;

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2014...

However, it has no Chrono, PSE, AC and then I found this;

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_418535-Porsche-Cayman...

It was obviously another PEC car like the red one for sale;

Shame!
