Notech 986 Cayman project build

[notech]

Sanding and filling:

The Z-top is finally attached to the body with a filler and sanded.
Notice the side air intake width is being increased to accommodate the Cayman 718 GT4 side scoops (the GT4 engraving is filled and sanded away).
Also the original 986 side intakes are kept but the fins are removed for better air flow. Snorkel is also deleted.

Side skirts installation:

The side skirts are being installed. For some reason they were shorter that the car lenght (maybe the car has grown with so much rain? )
Ultimately they have been cut and expand to fit.

Painting finally:

Porsche Miami Blue, what a vibrant colour living by the sea side!

Bumper paint, fit and stickers:

The PD1 bumper is being painted and fit to the car, also an electromagnetic parking sensor is being fit behind the bumper.
Porsche 911R vinyl stripes are also applied.

Wheels and spoiler:

The car came with the original BBS 18" two piece sport design wheels, they will be fixed for oxidation and painted in gloss black.

The Cayman 718 carbon fibre spoiler is also being fit, it has three adjustments for downforce.

The windows:

Unfortunately the side glasses didn't come with correct shape, also the rear glass would touch the liner which would needs to be shaved off.
I have opted for a polycarbonate replacement, this is custom fit and saves some weight.

Final results!

A long planned and awaited project comes to its conclusion with few small details left to be fixed here and there.
A personal interpretation to what a Cayman would have looked like if it was based on 986 platform An ECU tune has also raised some HP and torque and enabled the full potential of the new intake and exhaust.
A sure eye catcher, kids love to point at it!
