Medic-one Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hoping to pick up a white 2011 S in two weeks time, but whilst driving home today I saw a white Cayman with red side decals, and thought that looks rather nice. Just wondering if there's any folks here that have gone for decals, and if so where did you get them from ? Also can't seem to make my mind up yet which I like best, so hopefully some photo's will help. The car I'm hoping to collect : And then I'd want red decals, something like these : I think maybe the stripe all the way till the end, like in the last (silver) one is too much, I think I prefer the one above it, buy maybe without the small bit on the bumper... Also contemplating a red badge (either 'Boxster S' or 'PORSCHE') on the boot, instead of the white badge on a white car. Would love to see some idea's if people have changed boot badges and/or added decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I love the Boxster S logo at the bottom of the doors. The purists don't. I also changed the Boxster S sign on the boot lid to PORSCHE and changed the head unit to a modern Pioneer. All round bad boy 🙂 Do what speaks to you, it's YOUR car!

Medic-one Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 That looks awesome, really like that! That's definitely something to add to the 'to do' list once I've got the car. Where did you buy the letters from? I wonder if they do them in red... 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinewood Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 The site i got it from is no longer trading. Make sure you get one with a stencil included. It makes alignment and spacing so much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes alignment and spacing so much easier I’ve got one coming via AliExpress. I bought a Boxster badge from them and the quality looks pretty good, albeit i hadn’t realised it was the smaller font type from the 981 - my bad as I hadn’t realised they were smaller when ordering. PM me if you are interested Edited April 26, 2021 by Beancounter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 All personal choice. I think the cayman shape lends itself to side stripes more than the boxster. And the later models (981, 718) have more sculpted door in to intake grills which again ( I think ) suit the “tapered rear of the stripe (like the 2nd to last one ) for me they never seem to look like they “belong” on a boxster But plenty of folks have them and ultimately Your car, your call.

Menoporsche Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Side stripes came in on the 2010 Boxster Spyder. Then many here did them. Some eventually got bored and removed them, for others they stayed. Like the PORSCHE lettering at the back, or debadging completely. It’s all personal taste.

Ninesomething Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I like the P O R S C H E lettering at the back underneath the spoiler. Somehow the curve looks less awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finbox Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I also like the Porsche lettering, actually so much that I just put in an order for them! I think that despite the curvature the right spot is above the spoiler, would look too cramped below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they the smaller 981 letters mentioned above or are these a bigger size ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you get one with a stencil included. It makes alignment and spacing so much easier Ordered these online and arrived today. Not sure what a stencil is, are those the little cutout bits ? Have you got any more close up pictures of it on your boot, just so i know where/how to align it ? Also, in that picture above, is it just the angle, or is there a curve in yours, in line with the boot ? Like some letters sit slightly higher then the others ?

Menoporsche Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Curved is better IMHO but I think a couple here disagree. It looks like you need the S central and work outward from that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
