Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

Creativity is good but even better when it follows some form imho. is it logical to put '987' on the car? The 'type' number of a model has never been on a Porsche as far as I know (haven't checked, happy to be corrected). You can get a 911 badge for a 911, but the car is called a '911'. You don't get a [type] 997 badge to put on it. Our car's name is Boxster. A 918 Spyder 's name is '918 Spyder' (it may also be type 918, but 918 is its name). Would've been nice for Porsche to call our car a type 987 Spyder alongside the type 987 Boxster alongside the type 987 Cayman. All 3 are almost identical apart from the rear end and roof, so could've separated it from Boxster as much as they felt justified to separate the coupe, rather than calling it Boxster coupe. Oh well... I've left the full badge in tact including the badge on the dash and on the sill[]

ORIGINAL: H14PDB 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

Agree on that [] Though surely if it was Porsche cars selling it, then it would go through a OPC? Not 'Barbara of Kent'. That makes two owners

Barbara of Kent is saying her and one previous owner so car is a 2 owners on V5 and off the V5 you have every Tom Dick & Harry PCGB loaned the beast out too[]

Should have read advert better. I saw it as one owner, apologies.

Did you see the prices [] will just stick with Spyder I think a complete new set of badges is Boxster £75 and Spyder £35 would have thought would be the other way round you always pay more for exclusivity [][] Brian Just been out for a wee run great feeling after a few weeks not driving and yes the hood was defiantly on 5deg and heater on []

I'm trying to work out who's who in that pic. Obviously the one on the far left is Siy, as he likes gold. Perhaps the one in RED is Kitchens. And Mr D is the "modded" one on the far right?

daro911 is the big fan of aqua blue - he can have the one third on the right then they are all spoken for!

The one on the left looks heavy on options, the red one has the wrong wheels/boots but otherwise looks the lightweight option. They've probably all got twin pipes but whether they have a sports exhaust is anyone's guess.

I plead guilty. Poor schoolboy error. [] Fascinating day in Spyderland LOL.

Fascinating indeed and honey works so much better on this forum than vinegar

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.

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?

Agree, on thinking about it I like the black on black and the stealth look it gives the car, did consider changing Spyder badge to red a few weeks ago but thought it would look slightly 'tacky' Not as easy removing Boxter from sills or glovebox so will have to live with that. Kenny Spyder

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[] That does look good Kenny Spyder

Yes have to agree but not my choice - Why didn't they use a colour Chart like this one from the seventies for the Spyder? Your Choice - what colour would yours be?

Olympic blue []
