Spyder front splitter

[TOENHEEL]

Has anyone looked at replacing the front splitter on Boxster Spyder, I think it needs something more aggressive not as extreme as say a cup splitter on a GT3 but something that stands out a bit more. Any options??

[mrdemon]

there are options but I don't like them.

it's very hard to fault the Spyder out the box looks wise.
people try, paint bits, swap wing mirrors, etc but none look better yet.

you could fit 997 GT3 RS 4.0 cannards if you want track front end down force.

I like the Techart one.

The black techart one looks quite good! I just think from the front it needs to look a bit more aggressive. Can't fault its out of the box looks but the front for me doesn't match the cars looks from other angles.

that does look good, be nice colour coded in white may be.

Yeah might photoshop it tonight and see how it looks, just sorned mine for the winter now salt starting to show up on the roads!

I like that.

That's one thing that bugs me about the Spyder - the front and rear bumpers look a bit weak. (Ok, that's two things)

Prefer the Cayman R rear, tbh.

Has that one ^ got a vent in the top of the front bumper?

Haha yes mate he said he wants to do the same!!

Cayman R has no vent. You're thinking GT3.

No, I mean the one in the pic above.

[TOENHEEL]

Pic has a vent in the bumper might be a techart item also!

[nsm3]

Looks like someone has just cut the vent in - that is a 7.1 GT3 vent.

[mrdemon]

it's a £28 GT3 air vent, I put one in my Cayman

yes a cheap Porsche part shocker lol

[mrdemon]

they have taken that car to the next level now and ruin it though with a wide arch kit :-(

[m33ufo]

Bet you measured that more than a few times before cutting??!!

Does look good. Did you remove the pu to fit or leave in place?

Oh dear.... a ruined spyder.


I was looking at mine today and thought it would be nice to get rid of the third brake light and just have the humps on their own.

Other than that, i don't think it needs anything chnaging.

[mrdemon]

the only thing I would like is the gen 1 mirrors like on my Cayman, a much nicer sleek design and not the massive ugly unit on the gen 2's
