mwmackenzie Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Can this be done? I was wondering if the rear bumper and spoiler of the Cayman can be fitted to the Boxster and more specifically, if the 987.2 Cayman rear can be fitted to a 987.1 Boxster.. Has anyone on here tackled such a project, I've tried the search function with no joy. Cheers Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Have a look at @lordlee's car. he's done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I recall a conversation a few years ago with Russ up at Revolution. changing 987.1 to 987.2 is a LOT of work and cost as it's panels and lights that need changing. Ed has already covered the Cayman question, it looks great IMHO, and a mod I would do if I were a 987 owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwmackenzie Posted June 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Happy to look further into 987.1 if that's straight change without lights etc. Not wanting a balache for not much change/difference I just like the Cayman rear spoiler better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Joseph Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Hi Mark, While looking for a picture to remind me what a 987.1 Cayman spoiler looks like, I stumbled across this: http://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman-and-boxster-modifications/111458-diy-987-1-987-2-rear-tail-conversion.html May or may not be of interest to you.

EXY Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Pretty sure Araf put a Cayman spoiler on one of his Boxsters, he put a rear bumper on as well but all I remember about that was the paint pulled off when he removed the.

lordlee Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I looked into doing the 987.2 swap but it was just too involved for my liking. The cayman swap was easier and I like the mini ducktail look better than the smooth 987.1 rear. I did nearly source a Boxster Sport rear bumper but that fell through so when a good Basalt black cayman bumper came up I had to have it. Not to everyone's taste with the rear stripe but I like it.

mikesding Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've been looking to do this! Where did you guys get your Cayman donor parts? I haven't found any up on eBay (although lots of spare Boxster parts if anyone is interested ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordlee Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 There's loads of Cayman bumpers on eBay. You will no doubt be paying £175 or so for the rear spoiler as most breakers sell them whole (inc mech) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Daniel Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 The rear spoiler was from Porsche Heaven and was already the right colour, the bumper was from fleabay. What I found funny is that the amount of damaged rear bumpers with parking sensors to ones without is about 10 to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guvs Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I think this is the best shape spoiler ever for the Boxster. I love the way it curves down at the ends to hug the ducktail off the boot, but I might be a bit bias as it is standard on all Sports Editions.

Araf Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I bought my parts new from Porsche - but it was 10 years ago, so prices have probably increased. I did start with a £50 ebay bumper but it really was trash. There's a good reason why they are ditched, when a new PU from Porsche was only £350 at the time. IIRC the spoiler complete cost me about £100 at the time, then I just had painting to be done. Still cheaper than the Tequipment solution that Guvs has - though I would have gone with that if it had been under 4 figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason986S Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Have you considered wrapping the flat sections between the vanes on your rear diffuser black @Guvs? I think it would look stunning and make the vertical vanes stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwmackenzie Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 i'd be doing the whole diffuser to match side vents what ever colour they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guvs Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 @Jason986S @mwmackenzie Thought about it but on the SE the diffuser it all one part of the bumper, (moulded) I would have to take the whole bumper off to get it into a tank just to get the small part water transferred. I quite like it colour coded to the car anyway. Guvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
