Stylistically the door part ends at a "forward slash" slant. It might also look nice to have some sort of continuation of that theme on the the other end. I think it would tie up the two ends better. Maybe trim the length a little to fit that area before the front bumper side duct begins. That should give it a nice factory look.
Again, if you don't like the front piece you can just peel it off. I paid $80 from the UK graphics guys for all four pieces. If you do install that front piece be sure to have it pointing down a few degrees. Since unlike door the bumper is not flat and actually turns in, sticking it flat (with like a bubble level) will make it look like its pointing up when you look at it from far away.

Can you provide me with a link to the UK seller.

JD, I'm not sure I carry much kudos on this forum so feel free to ignore me.......I stand right behind 'ploughing your own furrow'. If it feels good, do it. This thread has proved both emotive and decisive.
When I look at the D'mobile I don't see a bad decision so far. Therefore trust your thoughts and do what you feel looks right . If you smile when you walk out of your house with the keys in your hand then it was the right mod for you.
If it feel wrong in a few weeks, peel it off. We are talking 3.6 transplant money and if a freshen is what's needed to stay 986, do it!
Keep that steering wheel on the right though... Embrace your in 'UK' ness!
And remember.... You are a peacock - so fly my brother!

I like the stripe on the yellow. Or maybe it is because of the kit you have, but now that I have seen pics with and without the stripe, I like it with.
And what is the deal with the top? I haven't ever seen a pic with the top down either???!!!

they have a video here:
Applying Decals to a Porsche Cayman - YouTube
took me about 30 minutes. I could probably do it in 10 minutes now.
