I also found a new lip spoiler for the trunk, and another piece for the X-Type not yet discovered.... but you'll all have to wait....

I like the tips, but doubtful on the rear spoiler. I wish I could remove mine, but I think there are holes there. I guess when I check JTIS for side molding holes, I can look that up too

LOL, The trunk-lip spoiler I found by measuring on a different car.... a 'similar' but different car

EXEPAT, thank you for digging through JTIS for me, i appreciate. Sincerely.

I'll be posting pix soon!

No problem. I slept on the flight back from Vegas, so I need something to do. JTIS and de-molding project.

MISSION ABORTED, 007.

There is a molding guide pin and hole on the door about six inches back from the b-pillar seam. I had to remove the adhesive/dirt and re-apply with some 3M tape.

You will require the services of a panel beater to proceed with this modification, James.

I 'think' I can make them work with little difficulty, but a write-up of prior experience is most certainly appreciated!!!

I thought they looked familiar! I installed one of these on my Porsche last summer. I'll be really curious to see if you can get them to fit on your X-Type - they look way too big for the space, and there's that weird S pipe deal where the current exhaust tips terminate. Good luck, Mr. Bond.

JaggyX, , just do a web search on "NHP exhaust Cayman" or "Agency exhaust Cayman" and you should see these come up. I love them on my Boxster.

Yes, they are most certainly too big for the space. That's why I am having the rear skirt on my bodykit customized for them to fit. This will not be a 'cheap' install by any means. It's my pleasure to put a little money into this car, she's beautiful and my everyday-driver lately.

Cant wait to see the tips. Are they that much bigger than Minas dual tips to have to do body mods to make them fit?

about 1.5" wider than the Mina tips. Not a lot has to be cut out of the rear skirt, but I will definitely have to have it sanded and repainted
