Our Porsche aero range seems to grow week by week as we constantly update our range and one chassis we have always looked at doing something with is the Cayman and Boxster, the older 987 generation seem to have an array of body styling, some bad and some worse, the most popular seems to be the Rocket Bunny which is about the best of a bad bunch, so we decided to look at styling for the model but the slightly later 981 chassis as this is the best looking one of them all in our opinion, and there seems to be very little or very limited aero kits available on the market for this particular year and model of Cayman.

Like most of our kits the Cayman RSR aero is a wide body programme that we produce in light weight in carbon fibre as well as woven cloth GRP, we appreciate that not everyone can stretch to the more expensive and desirable carbon fibre option, so we have a slightly cheaper priced GRP cloth option which still has the benefit of being super lightweight and a very strong product as its manufactured the same way as our carbon fibre product is made.

The kit consists of the following parts, with a huge list of optional extras also available on request.

Front bumper, front splitter with front floor, bumper and fender extensions, side skirts, rear over fenders, rear bumper with 991 GT3R bumper grills, rear diffuser.

The optional extras include: forged wheels in forged aluminium or super lightweight forged magnesium can also be ordered on request, in 19” or 20” sizes with a 10” front wheels and 13” rear wheel required to fill the extended bodywork, Bilstein coilover suspension, GT3R rear wing assembly, carbon fibre doors, arch liners front and rear with a bespoke exhaust system also available to order.

We have a build about to start in Lebanon and a full UK build that is about to kick off over the next few weeks and the UK build we are really looking forward to as it will be fully documented by our good friend Matt Clifford who will build the first UK Cayman RSR… we can’t wait for these builds to start.


A few months back we gave a little insight into our RSR styled wide body for the Porsche Cayman 981 Chassis, and its been pretty well received.

The kit is only available in carbon at the moment but over the coming months we will possibly introduce a GRP version of the parts, but with the carbon fibre aero parts looking this good were just not really feeling the need for the GRP version, that is unless the demand was high.

So what does the conversion consist of and what is needed to turn a stock Cayman into this absolute epic machine you see here.

The front bumper is a carbon fibre GT4 style that is further enhanced by a complete under floor front splitter, we can also swap this out for a 991 RS Cup style set up which some people actually prefer. A set of front fender extensions, wide side rocker sills that blend into the wider rear quarter panels, that really do expand this little Cayman out to the maximum, this is then finished off with a 991 GT3R style rear bumper set up with the vented tuning veins sitting either side with a full rear floor diffuser set up with 6 strakes making up the rear end, a rear wing assembly can also be requested from the optional extras list.

To fill the huge arches, you need some pretty wide wheels and tyres, 11” width up front and 13” at the business end fitted with 275 and 345 tyres front and rear respectively, you can specify 18” 19” or 20” sizes from a range of forged 3 piece wheels we manufacture for this particular build, or super light weight magnesium wheels if you have the desire to build the ultimate track tool, top this off with a set of JRZ custom coilover suspension, centre exit stainless hybrid exhaust makes for one very serious looking Cayman.

The conversion is available now and we are taking orders for builds as well as offering the aero pack out for supply only, so if your Interested the world’s most aggressive light weight carbon fibre wide body for your Cayman 981, then get in touch for more details.

Our range of Porsche aero seems to be growing at an alarming rate, were not complaining though as we are huge fans of the Stuttgart brand here at VAD, but there has always been one model that has never been on our radar, we seem to have neglected the beauty that is the Cayman, well that is until now.

There doesn't seem to be a lot on the market for the 981 chassis, especially in wide body format, you have the odd over fender aero kit, but that design is getting a little tiresome, we wanted a racing style wide body, something that would look at home on the track as it would the road, an RSR, GT3R, Cup look and working with our composite partners that’s what we got, not on form, but function too.

The kit is available in carbon fibre, but wanting to appeal to as many Cayman owners as possible, we also have a GRP option, so we cater for all budgets as not everyone has the carbon fibre funds, as prepreg vacuum infused carbon that’s autoclave cured isn't a cheap process, so parts always have a premium price, so it’s nice to give Cayman owners a price choice.

The aero kit is quite extensive and we will have a basic package, with an extensive optional extras list.

Basic aero pack will consist of: Front Bumper, front bumper canards, front bumper grill set, rear fender extensions, vented side rocker, rear quarter panel, rear bumper, rear diffuser.

Optional extras: light weight carbon doors, GT style wing assembly, front and rear carbon Kevlar arch liners, full scratch coated polycarbonate race window set.

We also have a great selection of wheels available in 1, 2 or 3 piece depending on budget, as we will have forged aluminium as well as forged magnesium, with carbon fibre wheels also available on request, with road and track programmes will be available for this build, suspension and exhaust systems will also be available on request for this conversion.

We offer a full fitting and painting service or we can supply only, we also ship worldwide, so get in touch today for further details on this little box of wide body goodness.
