Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

ORIGINAL: Siy Doh!... that's not what I needed to hear Daro - I wasn't even 100% about it, as I like you agree it is a far better car to drive than most things you can find. Its just having the two extra (poor excuses for) seats will mean I use the car more often... What to do!!!???

ORIGINAL: ted walker Yes Yes all very interesting .......BUT what about these nose badges ???????????
My April 2011build Spyder has a badge you can feel the design on like in brail
 
Badges. From my understanding and ownership of many various models and years I first saw the smooth bonnet badge on my 2009 59 plate Caymans S Ltd edition. When I asked the question I think it was Nike Pike that told me smooth badges are from 59 reg plated cars onwards. And indeed all my Porsches from that year onwards have had smooth bonnet badges. A raised badge on anything newer might suggest its been changed but dont hold me to that. Cliff

The brail like badge is considered smooth rather than the old school raised [;)]
 
ORIGINAL: dyllan if you can-if you dont appreciate a comment just pass on it-people who need to get a reaction will soon give up if they dont get one
Indeed. Let's hope it improves from here[:)]
 
Badge Comparison my 2004 Anniversary Boxster Versus 2011 Boxster Spdyer The Badge is Smoother on the Spyder/Anniversary To be concluded (sorry just went to do comparison and its pouring with rain)[;)][8|]
 
ORIGINAL: zyp I've constantly dithered about selling mine but just can't. Four new tyres have just gone on and the warranty will be renewed in August. If you need four seats do what I've done - keep the Spyder, and I'm about to order a new M3. I think it's a great drive and will be nice to be able to take the family out in a decent performance car.
the new m4 was at the ring on show quite a hard core thing.

Just done a 981 V 987R comparison 981 smoother than a cashmere cod piece [:D][:D][:D] 987R very very slighlty raised effect Old school badges pre 59 plate very raised effect. So looks like on the 981 they have been changed again for totally smooth.
 
some ring spy shots while I was there the new mini SLS merc thing and some sporty jag coupe the next R8 was there also but I missed the picture and it never came round again.

They drive lovely too, and the last thing I want as a family car is anything that drives remotely hardcore! That 260 would be great - but I've just got to face reality that I'm never going to be able to fold myself up that small again [:(]
 
I did think you were going to sell the Spyder for one or even one of the new ones, these are growing on me.

Head ruled my heart to be honest. And I'm just facing reality, but at least I've experienced the Exige. No real hardship keeping the Spyder for the foreseeable and having an M3 to run around in.
