If you are interested to purchase/order a bumper like this, the seller doesn't have anything listed anywhere or on a website posting... I would have to connect you w the company owner directly via his personal cellphone. There is a business phone too but English isn't their first language and only the owner is fluent.

Let me know.

I am adding some bling to my interior. The pull will be silver and the brown cover will be leather. And a new set of speakers while I am in there. Custom Hertz Mille 3-way Speaker Set For Porsche

Washed it
Turned the “Auto door lock” off with my new Foxwell 530 (Sick of having to pull the handle twice to get out!!)
Put the cover on it.
Put it back on the hoist with a Toyota below it.

It hasn’t stopped raining since.

Two tips that I can offer -
1) There are about 20-25 T25 & T30 screws that Porsche uses to attach the bumper and inner wheel wells to the unibody. To ensure that I was able to successfully put them back where I took them from, I found it useful to create a list of what went where.
2) The headlight/foglight wiring harness is attached to the unibody. If you know how to disconnect it, it's a trivial piece of work. If you don't, you may get very frustrated and break it. At the 7:14 mark, this vid shows exactly how to take it apart,

And - no - I will not receive any form of compensation if you click on the above link :-)
How about a link to your manicurist. I need a mani and a pedi!

Swapped out my 19" Carrera S II wheels with Pirelli PZeros for some 18" BBS SR rims and Michelin Pilot All Season 4s and wrapped the center caps in black. Now I can drive the car all year round and with much improved the ride quality. The car rides so much better and the tires aren't even broken in yet. Cayman R suspension will happen in the spring.

looks good! I did the R Suspension last summer, and like it. The ride height is where it should be. No noticeable issues with drivability. Meaning, I scrape where I did before. No more no less. Would like to pick up a set of 18s, like you did, as well.

The Cayman R suspension and 18 inch wheels is the magic spot.

Default R suspension

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone could make an affordable manually controlled Front Axle Lift kit to retrofit….

What’s involved with “R suspension”?
More suitable for road than something like Ohlins R&T?

It is the factory shocks and springs from the Cayman R. It’s a popular retrofit as it provides a good balance of performance and comfort while still being OEM.

The factory R suspension is perfect IMO... I use for track days, autocross, and weekend driving. Have had full aftermarket coilovers on previous vehicles and the R suspension is just as capable while being much more composed.

The 'full' kit also includes the R rear swaybar, and the rear springs are transmission dependent, FYI.
