Mines Manuel buckets PSE Chrono Spyder wheels.
Had loads of Porsches including GT3s the CR is an awesome road car one of the best I have driven.
The holy grail spec above is now hard to get hold of as the people who own them are hanging on to them.
Good examples are rising in price so if you can buy now to save a few pennies.
PS would not sell mine taken me years and lots of money finding my perfect Porsche.

Just bought a private plate for mine, haven't got round to putting it on yet but thought it was appropriate - C4 YMR.

Where did you get clear engine cover from? I'd like that on mine (if not rattly).

I was also the first person to look at that horrid red one that is currently on Autotrader, the one with the painted roof and carbon effect parts.

Funny I looked at that plate a few weeks ago. Great minds.

Looked into all the options, and ended up with -

Hi, Glen, the parts guy at Porsche Centre Leicester mentioned to me that there is a guy who owns a Cayman R and Spyder, is that you?

Ha! Great minds do think alike - that's the one I was thinking of getting. Just wasn't sure about importing from the U.S.

I had no problem, had a tracking number and only took 6 or 7 days to get here. Had to pay some import tax (about £25) before it could be delivered (just a matter of going on line)

Going to have the top of the inlet manifold painted at some point too.

Only thing I'm not a fan of if the carpet, looks like it could do with the edge having a tapper where you look into the glass, but it's fine.
