Hey all you fellow Cayman S owners out there, I wonder if any of you have noticed this. I don't know if it's just my car or not, but yesterday I noticed that one of the side air vents (the one's between the doors and the rear arches) has what looks like a blanking plate just inside the vertical slats. I got a torch out and took a better look. On the driver's side, there's a moulded funnel and you can see a fan unit deep inside the car and glimpses of some other engine bits. But the passenger side just has a black plastic plate in place.
My first thoughts were something like panic. I thought maybe someone hadn't done their PDI properly and failed to remove this blanking plate after shipping. Or the factory maybe messed up and shipped the car like that and no-one had noticed. The idea of only one half of my engine getting a proper air intake was really upsetting me and I couldn't help but wonder what that must be doing to the quality of the running-in process the engine was receiving.
So I phoned my OPC and asked them. They didn't know! The workshop guys didn't know anything about it. So I suggested they might go take a look at one of their own Cayman S demo/showroom cars and see if they were the same. So they called back and said they had the same thing (!) So I'm a little less panicked but still a bit concerned/confused as to why this is.
Has anyone else noticed this and had any better explanation as to why that's the case? The OPC said they would try find out more and get back to me, but I guess it's early days yet.
