Walking through Bath today, thought this 'cayman' looked odd from behind, got closer and it seems to be a Boxster with some form of cayman kit stuck on it...

Pretty bad if you ask me!

I often walk past that car and think it didn't look quite right, as if the boot wasn't quite shut.

Ah but it's not though is it?
It looks to me like an early boxster (996 front) with a cayman kit?

Nah, the front is definitely a C4S/Turbo late model 996 bitsa grafted on. I think the back is an aftermarket hardtop? I swear I've seen it somewhere before. Either way, someone has gone quite a way to trying to make their 986 look like something it isn't!

This is an early Boxster, I know what they look like as my daughter has one.

Look again, the lights are completely different.

Now look at this C4S.......

I meant that the picture I posted is an early Boxster, and as per what I said above the Bath car has a 996 front end. You are agreeing with me I think?

It's an aftermarket hardtop made by Zeintec.

Expensive & not quite right.

Pretty hideous creation... Cheers for the link, now know what it is at least!
Very bad shut lines on the one I saw in comparison

Cool concept, but some of the design lets it down...

What an abortion. Spend the money converting it to buy a Cayman or 911 in the first place.
