Araf Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 As per the title really. I noticed that mine has rear diffusers either side of the exhaust, and wondered if they all came like that. If so, why did they then move away from that for the 981 meaning that people on here are having to retro-fit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M12MTR Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 My 987.2 has rear diffusers. Think they all did from end of 2009 to mid 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was something they could have added to a final edition, if sales were slow. 17 minutes ago, M12MTR said: My 987.2 has rear diffusers. Think they all did from end of 2009 to mid 2012.

Stu, you missed the op's comment about the 981, probably referring to my recent addition. Hence my response in #2, etc. And Arafs witty banter ? 4 minutes ago, boxsternoob56 said: they didn't do a 987 GTS...it came along with the 981... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porsche_Boxster/Cayman#987_facelift Cosmetic changes to the 2009 Boxster and Boxster S include new head and tail lights, larger front air intakes with incorporated day time running lights, and an altered lower rear end flanked by twin diffusers.

Oh i get you...you were referring to the subtraction from the 981 as standard and addition to the 981 GTS,...misread and thought you were saying there was a 987 GTS Incidentally @Ringer250 has diffusers fitted to his 981 non GTS...so has another member I cant recall...both fitted aftermarket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for confirming. Just wondering where the 987 "Sports Edition" figures in the grand scheme of things it came before the Gen 2, but has rear skirt deffuser and front splitter also has a sports steering wheel and PASM thrown. As you say Araf must of been the same for the end of the Gen 1. Guvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Given the rearend is completely redesigned on the 981 there is probably less call for a diffuser generally due to the standard uplift of the rear compaired to 987/986 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
