ORIGINAL: flat6 For those who like the look of the Spyder and nothing more. The 986 looks cool with the stripes and white paint too[]
It was more an tongue-in-cheek comment that the Spyder look lifts any car, but only works with white[

Have to say i like the Black Logo .If i where to go Porsche delete i would seriously contemplate getting all the silver and black bits done red It makes the car look so much sleeker looking imo .The Porsche script cost a whopping £500 to replace one of the guys in the Tipec club got a similar one for £50 by a company on Ebay good quality vinyl looks good . Going to get a couple of show plates made up with just the SPYDER script logo on them
Yeah, me and flat 6 got a pair made up like the launch car that just say "S GO 2156". We can drive with impunity and the Porsche press office get all the tickets [
]On my high def monitor and zoomed, I can see at least a spiders leg!! ;-0ORIGINAL: jdpef356Whilst Mr Demons bird has appeal I don't see the Spyder connection[&:] I bet there will be plenty of takers if I offer to enlarge my real spyderwoman [ORIGINAL: daro911A night out with John's Spyderwoman
I located the Porsche side stripe for a friends Boxster S on fleebay for about £30.00 which is far more sensible pricing than the whopping £500 plus from your local Porsche centres parts bin It's not as if Porsche actually make side stripes anyway [&o] [link=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-boxster-side-stripe-decals-stickers-2-off-choice-of-design-/181137479040?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a2ca29580]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-boxster-side-stripe-decals-stickers-2-off-choice-of-design-/181137479040?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a2ca29580[/link]
Bit of Spyder modding today...... Spyder red iPhone lightening cable to charge from footwell power socket.
Aero wiper blade install as suggested by another member here whose name escapes me, so much more modern.
An upside down OEM Porsche fuel filler cap, it was cheap!!
Obligatory centre, locking nut and valve alignment.
Washed and De-Boxstered on the back.
Porsche will charge a value 'in line' with the exclusivity they want to preserve. If they charged £50 instead of £500 lot's of people would be spec'ing them on their car even if it wasn't an option, by just getting their OPC to deliver and fit them after the car is shipped. They cannot of course control the after-market. Standard Tequipment decals that are available for any car, like the Cayman S decals I got them to put on, are between £250 & £300, fitted, if I recall correctly.
And that car has sports seats in combination with it's racy looking steering wheel[&:]ORIGINAL: MrDemon Looks very nice in Platinum Silver

] Is it your daily driver or weekend toy?Royal Steering wheels have quoted me £135 plus postage for just that trim, done on top of original leather but not reversible. Comes out thicker and would always need retriming afterwards which put me off slightly. The fact I have only just had a new wheel due to pdk window breakdown is also a factor.ORIGINAL: MrDemon Looks very nice in Platinum Silver
Very hard to call this without seeing cars in the flesh. I think if the Red all over had the front vents and side ducts colour coded and the correct spyder Csilver wheels it would take some beating! However, if I was going Full colour coded route I would be looking for. Black Car - colour coded black front and side ducts. Black wheels (coloured centres) Delete Porsche and just leave Spyder on rear. I would be quite happy to have black or red black interior. I reckon that car would looks the DB's[ORIGINAL: daro911 Talking of stripes one for the Red Boys to debate Red / Silver Red / Black or Red All Over

I wanted the sport design wheel too but for something that costs so little as a factory upgrade I couldn't bring myself to the £700 odd wanted as after market switch [&o] Guess I need a breakers yard version one day[ORIGINAL: MrDemon I so want to fit this to mine My Cayman R has the sports design wheel and it's very nice vs the stock one. I think the GT3 RS 4.0 wheel would look great in a Spyder.

Here it is alive and well and looking for a new owner [
