CONFUSED??!!

Hi,

I have just bought a Cayman S (2008) tiptronic. After a few days I have noticed that under the number plate on the front bumber (the vent between the two spot lights) i can see the radiator. It seemed to me s though a bit of trim was missing. When I took it into the Porsche showroom I checked other cars and could see that they all had a concave piece of trim. When I queried this with the salesman he took it into the workshop and came back having spoken to an engineer. The answer was that there isn't supposed to be anything there as its a tiptronic and therefore the radiator is in a different place (and i assume therefore the trim isn't put on the car).

Does anyone know if this is this true???!!

Thanks,

Shiraz
 
The tipronic has an extra 3rd radiator in the middle of the front bumper. That is what you are seeing. The regular manual cars do not have this radiator, and so have a small black concave trim panle to fill what would otherwise be a hole. Hope this explains it.
 
Just to add to the confusion... You will see earlier Boxster S (986 model) also have the 3rd radiator. Manual or Tip... It's not in a different place - it's an additional one!
