Purpose and function of the component

The rear right air intake grill is part of the side body zone, responsible for air intake and the aesthetic finishing of the rear panel. As an element from the Doors and door panels group, it contributes to the vehicle's side profile, influencing visual consistency and proper panel fitment.

The placement on the rear right side of the vehicle allows for precise alignment with the factory mounting points on the Porsche Boxster 986, without the need for body modifications. The grill design is optimized for airflow and stable seating in the original body opening.

Color and Meridian Metallic paint match

The component is finished in Meridian Metallic – 6A7, characteristic of selected Porsche Boxster 986 configurations. This makes it possible to maintain color consistency without the need for immediate repainting, provided that the other body elements share the same shade.

The metallic paint coating provides a modern, understated look that complements the roadster's side profile. In the case of post-accident repairs or local bodywork corrections, this color match reduces the scope of painting work and facilitates the restoration of factory aesthetics.

As a result, the component works well both for bodywork repairs and for restoring the vehicle's appearance after renovation or body reconstruction.

Condition and practical application
