The only difference is if you have the radar in the middle grille for adaptive cruise. https://www.zunsport.com/en/porsche-718-boxster-cayman-gts-front-grille-set?search=718 https://www.zunsport.com/en/porsche-718-boxster-cayman-gts-acc-front-grille-set?search=718 I used this company to get my plate from.

Thee upper outers went straight in. Bottom outers were a bit of a b****r, requiring more brute strength than I would have liked! The middle I had already done, but not so happy with. I've got ACC, there is only one pair of clips, and it pulls out easily. Thanks for your input Rob. Mark its not very intuitive, but a bit of gentle alignment, bottom edge first and they eventually pop in to place. Bottom outers were a bit difficult. I have an old philips screwdriver with the last 15mm of the blade bent over at 90' and it is the perfect tool. Great. The only issue I have now is that for some reason the centre grills still lets in small debris that sits along the bottom of the radiator, so I am going to have to remove this every so often and get a hoover in to remove. It may have just been the last couple of trips have been in harvesting time with lots of hay around on the roads? 2023 Porsche Boxster 4.0 GTS, Arctic Grey. 2018 Porsche Macan GTS, Carmine Red full GTS package. 2023 Cupra Born 77 kWh Boxster 981S gone but still loved!

Small items such as shredded flies, road dust etc get through and eventually build up in small quantities depending on your mileage of course. I remove the grilles annually (or before visiting an OPC for service!) and vacuum out using a flexible hose taped to the end of my vacuum cleaner nozzle which reaches right into the corners. Seems to have worked so far. Brian J First 2003 986 Boxster 2.7 facelift Tip, Orient Red Then 2009 987 Gen II Cayman S, Basalt Black. Next 2013 981 Boxster S PDK, Agate Grey.

Cover the rear boot lid when you remove/refit the engine cover as its very close to the lid and has sharp metal edges. I fitted the controller on the inside of the bulkhead in the engine compartment with attached double sided pad as. recommended by cargraphic. Fitted the earth cable to a T30 screw holding a vacuum line bracket to top of engine. Left all vacuum lines in place, and used a long pick to unclip the grey tab on the connector to release, pull the plug up slightly with pick so you can get hold of it, and plug in to connector from controller. The other controller plug now plugs into the one on the engine, a long flat bladed screwdriver works fine You can now start the car and test with the remote key fob. And put the car back together.

I got it from Scuderia and its the latest version that isn’t fitted in the engine bay - it’s fitted directly into the electronics that control the valves in the cabin - the valves are then controlled by the SE button in the cabin rather than a remote. the unit is installed under the pasenger seat apparently but I’ll let the fitter worry about that 😂 will let you know the results once fitted :-) 718 GTS 4.0 PDK Agate Grey 718 GTS 4.0 Manual GT Silver 981 GTS PDK Black TTRS Roadster TTS Roadster TT Roadster A3 Q7 x2 Defender 90 Quote Reply #586

Another forum member has fitted one of these and feels there is significantly more drone from the exhaust at motorway speeds and it seems to detract from the induction sound. Met another owner of an identically specced car to mine at Beaulieu, he was changing the intake filters, which apparently takes up the intake noise to another level. 2023 Porsche Boxster 4.0 GTS, Arctic Grey. 2018 Porsche Macan GTS, Carmine Red full GTS package. 2023 Cupra Born 77 kWh Boxster 981S gone but still loved!

Bugs the heck of me also, but I am similarly very OCD. I have a microfibre cloth which I keep at the side of my seat and use this to close the boot lid, or my sweatshirt sleeve, or a tissue. I already have a small mark, which I am sure is from one of my wife's rings😡 2023 Porsche Boxster 4.0 GTS, Arctic Grey. 2018 Porsche Macan GTS, Carmine Red full GTS package. 2023 Cupra Born 77 kWh Boxster 981S gone but still loved!

It does close much easier if one of the doors is open as the internal air pressure is reduced.

I presumed the OP was also talking about this. The 981 Boxster used to have the badge on the boot, which I used to press to close. The 718 badge is below the spoiler now, leaving nowhere to press apart from the bodywork. 2023 Porsche Boxster 4.0 GTS, Arctic Grey. 2018 Porsche Macan GTS, Carmine Red full GTS package. 2023 Cupra Born 77 kWh Boxster 981S gone but still loved!

And I don't wear gloves to protect my race tex steering wheel. I do wear them when my hands are cold though.
