No I had it fitted by OPC. Part was £302 inc. VAT (997.355.910.30) and £176 labour which included flushing out old fluid and replacing with SRF which I supplied. It would be a very easy job to swap yourself but the system needs properly bleeding afterwards
took the Spyder to OPC bolton today for its 4 year. the Cayman S they said i could take has had a bump so i had to make do with a Boxster GTS for the day. now that is a quality touring car but not a true sports car like the Spyder. i was ok with the stearing, not too bad, PDK, not sure but makes it a perfect every day driver with a bit of fun when you want it. the exhaust is louder but a bit booming compared to the spider but nice. could not realy give it the beans as it was chucking it down. reminded me of driving the A4 i had, easy for every day. did not like the white as it is not carrera white, just too white and the metalic white is much the same. the GTS interior is realy plush with red stitching but did not have buckets, ok i suppose but my opinion is it needs the buckets to feal special. red detail and alcantara realy lifts the interior to another league. put that interior in a Spyder with buckets and OMG how nice would that be. the plastic of the Spyder does look plain but all those other bits make the car look like a tourer than a true sports car. (i would have that interior at the drop of a hat but that is my thoughts)ORIGINAL: daro911Interested to hear your views on the GTS which is a fantastic piece of kit with the sport chassis option[] Don't know who did the photo shop but it does look very nice[8D]
So applying the usual Spyder differences ie Suncap, Buckets, Sport Chassis, much lighter door panels, no radio, no air con, smaller fuel tank, all alloy rear deck lid with trade mark humps, extra bhp, how keen would you be to trade up to a 981 S P Y D E R [8D]ORIGINAL: Rocket Mantook the Spyder to OPC bolton today for its 4 year. the Cayman S they said i could take has had a bump so i had to make do with a Boxster GTS for the day. now that is a quality touring car but not a true sports car like the Spyder. i was ok with the stearing, not too bad, PDK, not sure but makes it a perfect every day driver with a bit of fun when you want it. the exhaust is louder but a bit booming compared to the spider but nice. could not realy give it the beans as it was chucking it down. reminded me of driving the A4 i had, easy for every day. did not like the white as it is not carrera white, just too white and the metalic white is much the same. the GTS interior is realy plush with red stitching but did not have buckets, ok i suppose but my opinion is it needs the buckets to feal special. red detail and alcantara realy lifts the interior to another league. put that interior in a Spyder with buckets and OMG how nice would that be. the plastic of the Spyder does look plain but all those other bits make the car look like a tourer than a true sports car.

nope the GT4 will be that, so they are going to show both cars at the same time at Geneva motor show 2015 the issue with the 981 manual is it does 82 mph in 2nd gear !!! that's a bit daft. the 987.2 is bad enough at about 75mph. Don't think my OPC has a single letter of interest for the new Spyder but 14 for the GT4 with only 5 slots !!! GT4 manual only, NO PDK option
stops the rot ..... lets hope they shorten the ratio's on it.
Fastest 981 Boxster I should have said [ORIGINAL: MrDemon nope the GT4 will be that, so they are going to show both cars at the same time at Geneva motor show 2015 the issue with the 981 manual is it does 82 mph in 2nd gear !!! that's a bit daft. the 987.2 is bad enough at about 75mph.

] So if your GT4 is going to be manual only would that be the box in the 991's ie 7 speeder Showing 2 brand new models at one show isn't the usual M.O. at all the Kmen are usually kept waiting at least 6 months +[&o] At the risk of starting World War 3 did you see the article on the Cayman R in GT Porsche. It seems that as it is a drivers car buyers are looking for manual transmissions. Can't think where I heard that before !ORIGINAL: MrDemonnope the GT4 will be that, so they are going to show both cars at the same time at Geneva motor show 2015 the issue with the 981 manual is it does 82 mph in 2nd gear !!! that's a bit daft. the 987.2 is bad enough at about 75mph.
