Post a Picture of your Cayman Spec Here

As some of you already know, the Porsche Car Configurator on the UK site is up and running with the Cayman S . I thought it might be fun to spec out my car there then post the image of what I spec'd out in this thread. Feel free to do the same with your car. The UK site is located at: http://www22.porsche.com/uk/

I'd love to post a pic of my config- can you explain how to do this? Cheers Dean

Sure, here's how: Step 1) Visit the UK Porsche configurator site Step 2) Configure your car the way you are going to order it Step 3) Do a screen capture (Shift-PrtScreen) Step 4) Open your favorite image editing software, could even be MS Paint Step 5) Paste your screen capture in Step 6) Edit/Trim your screen capture to show just the car, save the file Step 7) Come back here and post a message, click on the button to insert an image then browse your hard drive and upload the image you saved. Hope that helps!

our Cayman S

A mile long gravel driveway means a light color and this is my favorite.

This is still not final, but I'm liking it for now !!! (By the way, the editing options when replying to a post, are not available on my Macs with either Safari or IE. Had to blow the dust off the PC to attach an image !)

Arctic Silver with Cocoa leather. Wish the Carrera Sport Wheels were offered as an option in the US. JHellow

I love that cocoa leather. I drove a spyder edition Boxter S and truly thought it was one of the best looking interior colors I have seen. Your combination should really look good!

Tony: Hope I like it. Car magazine had a picture of one of the test cars in that combination. I saw the magazine the night before I was going to order GT Silver/ Terracota. The cocoa looked great in the magazine, but my dealer did not even have a leather sample to look at. I dropped the added cost of the GT Silver in favor if the Cocoa full leather and saved a good bit because the full leather also drops the cost of the adaptive seats. We'll see come January 14.

Nico: You popped for the ceramics. I couldn't give up some other options to fit the breaks into the budget. Also, I was concerned about repair costs with the ceramcs. Heard a horrible story about a Carrrera owner that warped his discs and Porsche would not cover replacements under warranty. Cost way to much to repair. I have heard this second generation ceramic is much more durable though. Also, the ceramic disc are a good bit larger than the steel brakes with the better calipers up front. Your Cay should be the Porsche stopping champ. JHellow

This is the one!!!! (Unless I can convince the wife that Cobalt Blue is the way to go)..)

I'm sure I'll be safe though /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/wink_smile.gif Edited by - Nico on 09/14/2005 10:34:00 PM

anyone know why i can't get a macintosh to run the configurator without crashing? i've tried almost every browser...(no mac-wisecracks please!)

I dont know why it is Dave, but mine is the same. I guess the site just isnt built for Mac use ! I built and saved a configuration on my PC, and can now open that saved config on the Mac OK, but as soon as I try to edit it, it crashes out again. Tonse

Here is mine. I wish I could see and post a picture of the interior. This is getting exciting.

I don't think you can go wrong with that combination. I hope you enjoy it. Tony Edited by - tony on 09/15/2005 08:55:20 AM

Unfortunately the Mac and Porsche 's website are not comptabible. Several other features of the website will not operate on my G5 iMac. I also went with Carrera White and Black interior w/ a few bits in exterior color to liven it up.

Hi Everebody ! Love this site ! Love Porsche Cayman ! So here is mine !!! :/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/teeth_smile.gif Nice Black ! /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/wink_smile.gif

sorry for the double post...and my crappy Paint Shop attempt! I couldnt help but lower it a little and give it a 996 Turbo style intake.....I'm really not keen on the Caymans standard 'gills'

My Spec: Seal Grey - Special colour Terracotta Leather - 19' Sport Design Wheels painted in Seal Grey with colour crests - Bi Xenon - Stainless Steel Tail pipe - 3 spoke Sports Steering Wheel - Heated Sport Seats with Porsche Crest - Auto Climate - BOSE <input type="image" height="254" width="1006" src="/UserFiles/CAYMANCLUB SPEC copy.jpg" />

My color is GT Silver and cocoa leather interior. This same color combo and Carrera wheels will either be on my new Boxter S or Cayman S. It all depends on whether I decide to get another conv. or fixed roof. Tony
