Cup holder kit is £211 if cars not speced with them.

Hard to fit?

Don't be spending to much on it . There's a lovely R coming up soon I hear ;-) .

Hmmm

[Dan911]

I bought some RS29's (not fitted them as yet) and was told they are the same for both 'R' and 'S' from Pagid.

The compound on the pad from OPC may explain why they have different part no's?

Can't be many Rs in NZ??

Three that we know of. One Black, one White and one Grey. Mine is ex UK.

That's one less in the UK.

Be nice to know how many 'R' Manual and PDK's there are left in the UK

[Dan911]

Couple of new ones to the market..

Adding cupholders and short shift are easy but are there any easy fixes for the brakes?

I've not used mine (done 300 miles in 6 months) you know me Gav..

I have just bought a set of RS29's, once I get them fitted I will update you.

Dan, 300 miles in 6 months? That's shocking, it's the perfect car for blasting along A and B roads in all weathers - if you're leaving it at home and taking another car simply to keep the miles off it then shame on you

I'll use it over the summer.. (Promise)

Washed, polished and waxed the car today, took a few photos but just outside the front of my house as I couldn't be bothered to try and find anywhere else! Didn't turn out too bad though.

Looks like mine... They do look great in white!

I need a black exhaust tip!

[Dan911]

Anyone tried/got one of these?

seems pointless with 3 cars from UK on it.

low total number though of 1421 world wide.

Less than MK1 GT3, 1880 if I remember.

[Dan911]

I think the R will be remembered as is the first of the 'lightweight' breed of Cayman. Bit like the rare Porsche's it will hold up as one of the greats.
The low production numbers will help it retain value (less made than the MK1 GT3 worldwide), and yes I agree its just a Cayman with lightweight bits and tricks but these are standard bits. Not an S (still a great car) with bits added.

I have owned both an S and have an R, if you have driven both you'll see why you always see 'R' drivers smiling. Please don't get me wrong, the S is a great car.

just my 2p's worth

(plus if you read the 'diary of a new R owner, a lot of 996 GT3 owners have now jumped into R's and are saying how great they are, me included)

[Dan911]

Has anyone upgraded the exhaust tips?

Blimey, well I've just read all the last few pages and it seems to be getting a bit silly. The thread I thought was for owners/buyers/mods.

+1

Back on topic(s)

Any buyers out there looking at the moment?

Not thinking of selling the black tips are you?

Thanks
