Does the Cayman come with tire tools?

What exactly comes with a Cayman in terms of tire tools?

Anything?

No wheel hanger?

I assume at the very least they have to give you the socket for the factory security lug bolt, no?

I'm basing this on my 2003 Boxster S which of course came with a full set of tools, including things like the wrench to pop the headlight loose from the car, wheel hanger, security lug bolt socket, etc.

The only tire tool with my '06 CS was the coded socket for the security lug bolts. No wheel hanger was included, but the Porsche aluminum wheel hanger was $11 at the dealer. The '06 CS came with the smallest tool kit I've ever seen, which included the headlight wrench you mentioned.

Mine (early 2006) came with wheel hanger and security socket.

I give... What's a wheel hanger? What's it look like??? Sorry!

I know I have a jack and the head for the lug bolt. And of course the leak-stop and air-pump.

This one is from BootheDesign (sponsor). They make it much easier to remount your wheels (since we have lug bolts instead of studs).

You can also buy a similar one made by Porsche from supplier like Suncoast (not as nice as the Boothe one though).

Wow, that is just TOO useful!!! Did someone say that there was on in their kit? Wonder if it was from a previous owner? or if it came with the car.

The Porsche wheel hanger was standard issue with 986 Boxsters, which of course came with an actual spare tire.

Note it actually is a bit nicer than the BoothDesign one in that the knurled area on the front of the Boothe model could scratch up the bolt hole area of your wheels if you're not ultra careful; the Porsche model is completely smooth.
