Wonder how long the Caymen are going to have to wait for there mods to match [:D] As they pay such a high premium for the hacth back it's a bit rude if they don't get them first [:-]
 
Nothing too radical then. Whilst they're at it, I wonder if they would do the following:

1) "Flick knife" key blade a la every VW Group car for the past few years
2) Get rid of the unreadable analogue speedo and replace with a voltmeter and oil pressure guage to mirror the fuel/temp from the other side of the revvy
3) iPod connection
4) Manual disablement of the seatbelt "bong" when you need to manoever the car around your drive
5) Variable service intervals driven by mileage and use
6) 3 year warranty
7) Angelina Jolie for a week (more likely than 6)...

Any more...?

Hmmm... The link appears to be correct - but doesn't work direct for me either!

I think you have to be a 987 owner to get access from your link so here is what it says for all of those who can't get through [:D]

We hope our friends at Hidden Image have some extra-thick parkas, because we're getting the chills just looking at this Porsche Boxster mule.

Caught testing in wintry Sweden and on the road near Stuttgart, it would appear that Porsche's enchanting roadster is set to receive some styling tweaks in time for 2008. Of note, the car receives a revamped front bumper fascia incorporating LED daytime running lamps and rounded-off air intakes. From these photos, it's unclear whether the car will receive new headlamps, but given that they're disguised here, it's a reasonably safe bet. Out back, there's a new rear bumper cap, as well as new taillamps incorporating LED lighting.

Sadly, mums the word on any drivetrain or interior updates, but we'll be sure to keep you updated as we learn more.

Hmm. From what I can see from that picture, I don't think much of the new rounded front air intakes. As for the LED's - how very Halfords. Do tell me they're blue and shine out from under the car...

Mark, looking hard at the blue car in the snow I could convince myself it has the venturi effect rear bumper. There appears to be a lip on the bottom edge of the front bumper and if the spoiler is redesigned, perhaps this is needed to balance the aero package?
 
Going on Porsche's previous do we think this car will land around November 2007 or is it 2009 (arriving Nov 2008). I currently have an 'S' being built and should land in the UK mid February.
