Gave the Cayman a bit of love

[Pep]

Decided today that the cayman needed a decent clean and to try and correct a bit of damage and marks on the bodywork so dug my DA out from the back of the garage that's never been used since I bought it!
Didn't do too badly:

Unfortunately there has been a bit of a coverup of stone chips on the bonnet but I'm not sure what with, as soon as I gave it the first pass all of these appeared!!

Then as I was giving the rear spoiler a quick run over as soon as I touched the pad down I ripped some paint off the back edge, highly annoying!!

Overall the car is in pretty good condition and not really any swirls, although silver is good at hiding them. Wasn't a full correction due to this, just wanted to remove a few visible marks that catch my eye.
Does mean I need to get some paintwork done on the bonnet and rear spoiler, plus a few other little touch ups if its going in.

Still liking the car although only put a few miles on it since buying, but have leant my 320d to a friend for a month so this will be used daily. I do feel like I'm hard to please as I'm still hankering over something 'more'! I think I'll end up with a V8 M3 or 997 911 next year.

I love that!
Used to be a bit with Porsche of any kind. That has completely changed recently. I would love a cayman as a second weekend car.

Was planning to but I can now afford something better so if it sells then I'll upgrade. Not looking likely though only had time wasters come to see it.

I'm starting to think I'll never be 100% satisfied with anything as these get rave reviews but I'm not excited every time I drive it.

You need a 911 now then.lol.

A 911 is less excited and more grown up imo. It's like an M3 and a Clio 200.

 

[Ian_182]

That's really nice, I could cope with that on my drive.

Have you owned a Cayman, M3, 911 or 200?!

 

[Gally]

Nope, next question? Have I spent enough time in them all to comment confidently? Yes.

You seem to be getting pissy even though I never quoted you.

 

[Gally]

Infact reading my post again it's basic common sense even if I hadn't driven the cars.

The Cayman is smaller and more nimble in comparison to the 911.

I've driven a 996/997 c4s and 997.1 and .2 Turbo, infact I believe there is a video on here just incase you think I'm a dreamer. Hardly calling a 911 a bad car.

It all depends on what excites the op. I'm sure the extra power would be a very good starting point.
