This is one of the more shallow threads I've had the unfortunate pleasure of reading.
Op - who really cares what parts are/aren't stamped with VW/Audi logo? You do realize the pedals in the Lamborghini Huracan come directly from the current Golf R? May you enjoy driving your 911 without being concerned with the thoughts/opinions of others.

... and if that's your criteria, your comment about Caymans and Boxsters is all the more ridiculous. The mechanic recommended the Cayman based on performance, ride, ease of maintenance, etc. -- all qualities you claim to extol. I chose the 911 because I wanted space in-cockpit for a small cooler for road trips and because getting out of the Boxster felt like I was undressing.
... and the Boxster/Cayman are true Porsches. They meet every one of the characteristics you claim to judge on. Your focus on what is stamped on the parts instead of how the parts fit together and work together just shows a shallow appreciation attempting to masquerade as a "car guy". You may be a great guy but you come off as the epitome of the P-car guy everyone hates -- including other P-car owners and aficionados.

A. I don't care what everyone hates. You worry about you
B. I paid for the car, so I will be me, I dont put on a "show" because I own a particular brand of car. (To be explicitly clear, I dont LIKE
VW/AUDI I will never forget the Audi5000 and would hope for 0 stamped VW/Audi parts in my 911 (Disappointed there is but thankfully they don't make those parts that are stamped), probably the worst carmaker in the world behind Maserati, and anything English.) (Que the Mclaren fans now)
C. Boxster or Caymans are for women or Hairdressers, pick your poison. Sorry you dont like the truth in my world.
D. I am happy you have an opinion not sure why you want to project it on me. Also I have no background on if you really are a car guy or if you order from brochures. I have built and owned a Procharged 302 Foxbody, Tj & XJ I6 on 34s, Terminator Cobra KB 2.8, stroked 402 TBSS, Renntech W211 AMG). I daily drive a Volvo because they rock and so do wagons/estates.
E. As I see it I am terrible guy with a really great opinion on cars.
F. I could careless if you dont like what I say, some will, some wont, and that is life.

Your first few posts on this thread were innocent enough simply inquiring about VW parts on a 911. Many people here (myself included) became defensive after your 'name calling' of Cayman/Boxster owners. In the end, you are entitled to your opinion as are we.
So let's just definitively answer your original question and end this thread please?
"If in a 2010 997 C4S are there any parts with a VW stamp?"
Yes
QED

In my own defense I'll say I just moved to a 911 after owning my Boxster for 9 years.

I'll also say that I did a lot of manly things to it like 3.4 engine swap, coil overs, etc
