Hi
I have rather bashed my race Cayman and am struggling to identify this part / part number.
It sits against the body under the rear bumper and under the tail light housing - as per image.

It’s not on the Porsche parts schematic and my OPC don’t know either - a part number would be really helpful as there isn’t one on the one. I have but I think that’s because it is only “partial” after the crash

Many thanks
Mark

There are several Caymans being broken on Ebay at the moment. You could send them your photo?

If you take a close look at the image below, it appears it’s all part of/moulded into the rear section of the arch liner/exhaust heat shield support bracket :

Thanks Slippy
Mystery solved and yes that makes perfect sense as we don’t use the liners on the race car. Goodness only knows why that tiny broken bit got left on there at last rebuild. Good news though one less new part to buy
Thanks again

I imagine it locates the leading edge of the rear bumper where it meets the quarter panel diagonally ?
