Stainless Steel Front Cover Installation Instructions
Vehicle Type:
Cayenne S / Cayenne Turbo
Model Year:
As of '03 (3)
Concern:
Stainless steel front cover installation instructions.
Information:
The stainless steel front cover emphasizes the off-road character and matches other the bright metal accents of the Cayenne. The standard front overhang angle is not reduced by the stainless steel cover.
For the vehicles delivered as model year 03 (3), there is the possibility that there are no markings on the inside of the front cover bottom section (referred to as spoiler throughout these instructions). If this is the case, a new spoiler must be ordered. In addition, the new spoiler for the Cayenne Turbo is delivered primed and must be painted.
