New Cayman S Owner
Hi Chaps,
I am new to this forum, popping in to say hello!
Hopefully will be picking up my Cayman S on Wednesday,I wont be driving it then however...
I have a the full Techart GTS Kit to go onto the car (excluding wheels) That should hopefully be fitted in the next two weeks.
Sitting in my garage are a set of 19" 997 Turbo alloys and some H&R 35mm Springs which will also to get fitted in the same week.
My view it also to fit some spacers, preferably 20mm but I am a little worried about it rubbing so will check before purchasing them.
I would eventually start thinking about fitting an accusump and some other mods to stop the dreaded engine rebuilds due to the oil starvation!
The Cayman S is in Guards red. The wheels will be going a gloss black along with the side vents, spoil fin and supports.
Onto the Interia, It has the full leather seats, dash etc so not much I would like to do here.. A custom steering wheel is the only thing I can really think of - and something that will allow me to use my iPhone to play music through the PCM NAV - Hardwired not Via blue-tooth or FM signals.
I shall post pictures up when its done in the next 2-3 weeks!
Regards
-Chris.

However, with it being guards red, any tips to keep the swirls away, or remove them from the paint?

congrats!
just get a basic detail on it!
btw,..you should have negotiated to get a detail job included in the selling price if the swirls are really easy to spot,..worked fine for me a few times

What I done regarding the swirls and slight marks was - instead of negotiating that in the price, I had the price of a full detail at a local bodyshop knocked off the price.
for my own piece of mind as I know the guys work is spot on.
Here is a quick picture of it sitting in the waiting bay for it to get its Techart parts fitted :

These are the alloys going on it :
Porsche alloy wheels | Genuine new 19" Porsche Turbo II | fits Porsche Cayman 987C Gen 2 | Alloy Wheels Direct Ltd
but the rears are 10J - will probably put spacers on there too.
I double checked they fit a cayman and got the all clear!
But look how high its looking! needs the H&R springs on there pronto haha.
EDIT : I have no idea on the prices of the carrera alloys that are currently on there, they are 8J front 9.5 Rear.
Any idea how much I should be them up for sale for?
