Lonewolfgjp Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 So today I finished polishing and correcting the paint on my 981. I’m pleased with the results and I managed to remove most of the defects and improve the depth of the shine. I will put more details of what I did and more pictures on my car thread 😎 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewolfgjp Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 I took mine for a quick blast round while it was sunny ☀️ And it also gave me a chance to have a look at the paintwork in full sun and I was pleased with my results 👍 Looking very white 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuno1 Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Went for my first propper drive today with my buddy in his FF and oh my the Cayman is a hoot! A lot to learn about the car in terms of best gears to be in, learning the driving modes etc. Many many fun miles ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daz05 Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 Spent the day being hunted, first drive out of the year as it was nice and dry. Was given the keys to the Turbo on the way home. 981 Vs 991turbo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren’t there now smooth lights available (718? Do they fit?) and would any of you ducktail owners consider such a new look, now the ridge is less integral?

daz05 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 @Menoporschelooking good. I think the 718 lights are a step too far but keen for someone else to try it to test that theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I am looking at getting my red 981 rear lights smoked to blend in better with the black paint. I’ll be seeing a chap later to experiment with darkness I am after. Will be doing the ducktail spoiler too next year I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz05 Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 You will need to pick up some GT4 or Spyder lights as I have done, sometimes owners swap them for the GTS lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit when I fitted the ducktail I noticed a slight difference in the line from the spoiler to the GTS rear lights. I even contacted @daz05 but after that I went back through old photos and it’s exactly the same in pictures when the standard lights and original spoiler were on the car. It’s just that I never really noticed. It’s not a big difference but it is there, on mine anyway, and it certainly doesn’t spoil it IMHO and I’m sure I’ll stop looking for it soon 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Following on with the Spyder spoiler I have taken delivery of a Spyder rear diffuser. I always fancied one of these but they are quite pricey new and rarely come up used but I had a bit of luck. Overall it is in good condition but I’ve given it a good scrub down and a couple of coats of solution finish. The main issue is there are no holes for the parking sensors, so I’m trying to think of a work round as I don’t really want to disconnect them even though they are pretty useless 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withy Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Cleaned it (even took some time to get the green-y stuff off the hood) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moospeed Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 Painted it. OK, so it’s not quite “what I did today” but signing and varnishing it indicates a finish point 😁 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
