hello! I'm in need of a replacement rear apron for my 987 sport design. If anyone can please tell me the part number, it would be most appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hello All, has anyone any information on how to remove the original spoiler on the 987 model Boxster S ?

I was toying with the idea of fitting the 987 "sportdesign" package to my S, but decided that I didn't like the "pretend" diffuser at the rear (since when did Porsche start producing "pretend" items?, oh, I forgot, since the central front air intake on the 987 S ! !)

But then, after an age of searching, I found this, which is a lot more stylish. Ok, so it's down to personal preference, but if Diamonds are a girl's best friend, I'm sure that Carbon Fibre must be man's. - dont tell the dog!

Ok, I've answered my own question! - Thought I'd post my findings here for the benefit of all! -

1. Move the spoiler to the UP position

2. The box section that is now exposed is made up of 4 elements, 2 long sides (front/back of spoiler), and 2 short "end caps", made of a plastic looking material.

3. Carefully slide these end caps OUTWARDS (requires a LITTLE amount of force, which "unclips" the clip holding the end caps in place)

4. The nuts securing the "box section" that forms the spoiler and cover plates to the mechanism that raises and lowers the spoiler are now visible.

5. Undo these nuts and remove them, then carefully slide the whole spoiler upwards and away from the body.

6. The whole process should take no longer than 10 minutes.

Refitting the original spoiler is the reverse of the above!, but why bother, when there are numerous better designs available? (including the cayman spoiler).

So if anyone can lead me through a step-by-step lesson in how to remove/refit the original rear spoiler, it may come in useful!

Thanks in anticipation!
