Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all, anyone know where the best place to buy the plastic dark grey side skirt for my 996? Was quoted 280 + vat from opc today. It's the long piece of plastic trim on the side/underside of the drivers side. Mine is cracked.
Cheers
Roy
Try phoning the parts department. I bought one for mine about 3 months ago, and it was £85+vat. It took my friend Tony about 30 minutes to change. I do recall it needed a few plastic clips at about £1 (total). I'll post the current price and part number tomorrow, when I get to my PC.
Sill Cover RHS in Satin Black - 996.504.364.00.01C - £101.45 +vat
The painted one is for the Aerokit, and is about £400 in primer.
Maybe they quoted you a fitted price......?
I replaced both of mine earlier this year as they had a little gravel rash.
Part numbers as per Richards post (363 for the right side 364 for the left) unit price on my invoice was 97.54 each plus vat. Managed a significant discount from OPC though[

A fairly easy job to change but be aware the little rubber grommets in the cill have a habit of disappearing into the cavity when you're refitting I spent ages fishing a couple out with a fairly sturdy cable tie.
the grommets are part no 996.504.715.00 and are 98p each
Thanks guys!! Very helpful, I phoned west London opc and he was still convinced that the painted one was the right one for me and said he'd never seen a black satin plastic along the bottom. I spent 15 mins talking a very irrate parts advisor through what it looked like. I gave up in the end. After Richard gave me the part number I called him and he said it wouldnt fit on my 996 C4S. I know it will and trust Richard implicitly.
I was quoted 105 + vat. Can I ask what you managed to negotiate ?
Thx once again.
Roy
Check the numbers Ash. According to the PET 363 is left, and 364 is right. 9 times out of 10 RH numbers are even, and LH numbers are odd (in the third group).
