New Cayman/Boxster in 2012,

[Mikeyboy]

Having seeen those Spy pics of the new Boxster I was wondering if anyone had any information on what the spec is likely to be for these cars?

I really haven't heard anything about these cars. As usual the press has gone 911 gaga and forgets the Boxster/Cayman when talking about future models and the details thereof.

Spotted this in a car park the other day

Maybe it'll feature on the new model

That's a quality OE looking spoiler right there.

Something as tacky classy as that could have come straight off a MX5.

I wouldnt be surprised if that little addition is dangerous at high speed?

It could imbalance the aero?

Or a Mk.3 MR2.

I'm more concerned with the holes they've had to drill in the boot lid, and the blanked off 3rd brakelight now looks piss poor.

I hope that wasn't actually sarcasm, as I believe it is indeed the 986 Boxster Aerokit II, which must be pretty much the rarest option that they ever offered on the thing...

OMG!
You cannot be serious.

I'm glad you said 'the thing'
Just need some snow and kurt Russell with a flame thrower to put an end to it

I was visiting someone in hospital and parked in the cpark.

Had it been Moorfields, it would have all made sense...


(Oddly, there was another silver boxster parked next to it... whose owner for some bizarre reason was quite happy doing without the Halfords DIY aero kit....)

It was sarcasm, but I didn't know it was (or seems like) an actual OE part! I didn't believe it at first until I actually went looking for the Tequipment catalogue to confirm.

Ah, so Porsche offered it, now you need to edit your negative posts as it's no longer chavy

[Durzel]

I still think it looks "stuck on", OE or not. It just doesn't gel with the car imo.

[DS240]

Porsche part or not, it does not look right.

Does nothing for the styling. Just surprised it was ever an official part.

In fairness, I only knew what it was as I remember seeing it on the Porsche stand at a motorshow many moons ago and it kind of etched into my memory. That is actually still the only time that I have ever seen one on a real car though, and even pictures of it usually need a Google search to come by. Not a shock that they didn't shift many of them really is it...
