@mrbikerdood didn't you fill in some of the switch blanks on your 981?    Think it was you...

I got some spares of Si, installed one on my centre switch set

car vertical?

 So why were l they  stalking you Stuart 😂

981 only has two seats, I wanted to take it out, they had to take another vehicle for all 4 of us to go to CMK as a result

They were checking he wasn't sneaking out with a girlfriend to smoke behind the bike sheds.

oh those were the days 😀

...got followed by my 18yr old and her 16yr old sister (in the eldest's own car)

odd experience that one

are there rubber grommets that are on the underside of the clamshell?

IIRC on a 987 the front bonnet has some and they are not symetrical so if twisted 180 degrees protrude more

I may be talking b*ll*cks though and/or the rear clamshell could be different anyway

I was told hyper silver by Chris from excel when I had one refurbished 

You are better asking the finance bloke at an opc

You should also expect higher Apr than other options and no guarantee what it will be until the car is delivered and you start it.. any illustrations at this stage are extremely likely to change if it's a while until delivery

odd to advertise with a space saver on though?

It's still plastic  , just ali look or silver paint as we like to call it.

718 has a little hole on the fuel flap which you can dock the cap whilst fuelling. 

 

Oh I thought that was Alloy whereas the Original Porsche one was plastic...

I never paid full price but I've too much money I guess. The quality is rubbish.

There was a billet one that was half the price

but oc I started reading about fuel caps causing engine management lights so I opted for the one with a Porsche part number.

you'd not want that bouncing on your wing!

The 986 was a Cayman beta release, design wasn't quite finished but wanted some initial feedback while they worked on the roof, during the summer.

It's true - see http://www.porsche.com/986-cayman-beta-release-summer-1996 

(ps - don't click on that link, it could take you anywhere!)

I've been thinking about some bonnet stripes for a while. I think these would look cool on a black car.

a black car would look better like this (Sport Design Cayman IIRC)

Great spec. Pretty much what I have chosen for my final GTS4.0. 
I would add the camera based speed limit indicator - I found it surprisingly useful in my first GTS4.0

Did you look at Aventurine green? That was the colour of the first car and it looked awesome (esp with the PCCBs) Classy like agate but just that bit different too to make it stand out.

BTW - the supplied remote for the Cargraphic controller fits perfectly into the space in the smoking package if you take the ash tray out. Looks like it belongs.  No need to spend money on the home link  

 

 

this Aventurine Green I think?

I like it too
