It's stainless steel and looks like a bike brake cable.

One thing you can try is loosen up the bumper cover from underneath and look up in there. Unfortunately, I don't recall if you can remove the bumper cover completely without the frunk open.

Thanks will check that out tomorrow, just one question, can you confirm that this is for the base 2001 boxster ?
