Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

ORIGINAL: gouldian kenny - Get the "Spyder" painted red to match the Brembos it goes well on black and picks up rear light colour as well.
100% Agree otherwise on a black car might as well be debadged as the black Spyder gets completely lost[;)] You could invest in a red Spyder decal badge from people like this to get the look without painting an actual badge New Page New Pic New Take On Badges[;)] http://www.designstuffonline.co.uk/vehicle_graphics/model_make_specific/porsche/porsche_987_boxster_decals.html

Not for me. Stealth look of black badge on black car works well. If Porsche wouldn't let your car leave the factory like that, there's a reason. For those that delete the Boxster badge from their rear end - do you change the Boxster Spyder sticker above the glovebox or the door scuff plates too?

Interesting - wonder what "courtesy vehicle function" is?
On some vehicles there is a separate (Valet) key which will only operate the doors and start the car, it wont allow the boot or personal areas to be accessed, but never seen it on a Porsche [&:]

No .... When you have the factory rear badge delete option they still leave the interior stickers in situ [;)] How cool would this Spyder badge look on a black Spyder[;)]

[:D][:D] On the badge subject, I'll be sneaking Mrs BigE's hairdryer and dental floss out at the weekend and removing the "Boxster" (and of course re centering the Spyder) I'll report on any increased performance from the extensive weight saving.......

I keep changing my mind about this. I think I want to take the Boxster bit off as I think the car sounds better when you just say Spyder, plus people then don't know it's a Boxster. but on the other hand, people then think you are ashamed to be in a Boxster. tuff call, so atm mine is the full name, it is a Boxster Spyder after all. If I were to take it off I would buy a new full badge to store and put back on in the future, if the car goes classic people are very badge/spec anal.

Puts you guys to shame :p No wonder you want to take the Boxster hairdresser badge off lol

So there's two of them eh? So much for all that unique spec blather [:D][:D][:D] And we don't hear Barbara from Essex coming on here banging on about it either. Could be the perfect car for billy1? Then you 2 could kiss and make up... [;)]

Always said mine was not the main press car and that there was another with mirror spec which was the main press car. :) although I have had sports mode retro fitted. Most of the launch reviews are not my car, in fact I can only find Autocar using it for a 90 second quick review vid. I guess Porsche need a mirror spec press back up car, and I think that's what mine was. I have seen this car for sale before about 2.5 years ago. so that's 3 of us who think Billy does not own one now then lol

Now you're being naughty Rob. Having two would just be greedy. Certainly not in that lady spec, obviously. £2k+ if a ceramic disk needs replacing? No thanks! No radio? Pah! [;)] And anyway, only a complete tart would want white [runs].

A different take on it de-badging. I suppose a lot of cars have the badge to one side, but it's typical for a Porsche to be centred. This is a club member's car so if it's not to your tastes, comments should be respectful.

Hmm, according to ad it is 'one owner', so if a press car how can that be? Thought it looked very similar to Mr D's car. I had already sent Barbara a mail asking for more details will see what I get back.

One owner is correct Porsche Cars but they won't have added One owner but 100+ careful drivers :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
