Maybe you should check on a different screen or it’s a trip to the opticians because not only is it a different shade of silver there’s also a very different blue hue between that rear passenger door and the adjacent panels.

I'm pretty much done with having anything to do with using an OPC for purchase or aftercare now.

My experience of using OPCs for my 981S (due to extended warranty) exposed numerous centres to be next to useless when it came to knowledge.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

I’ve noticed recently that some of Porsche Approved Used is not meeting the standards they purport to have.
How has this made it up for sale? Rear passenger door is a different colour to the rest of the car and it’s missing the black arch trim!

Dealers can’t be arsed.
An OPC recently put “Cayman T” stickers on a Boxster. Only the salesman noticed on the morning of pickup.
Utterly unbelievable incompetence at a number of levels.
I think that is just bad video compression. Sure the liner should be on it and all the pics show it in place but I don't see any clear evidence of a mismatch in paint.

Really? Maybe you should check on a different screen or it’s a trip to the opticians because not only is it a different shade of silver there’s also a very different blue hue between that rear passenger door and the adjacent panels.
I recently placed a reservation deposit at an OPC on a 981 S. Its possibly still on their website.
When I arrived to have my first viewing / purchase the vehicle after waiting a week for the car to go through prep, I was greeted by a car that hadn't been washed, the paintwork between the door and the rear quarter panel my reflection looked quite different, and the exhaust seemed to be sitting at about 10 degrees off horizontal and the coating on the headlights was peeling off.
I made my excuses and left. When I put my deposit refund request in writing, the sales person agreed to do so, but then went on to say the car was up to Porsche used approved standards.
See also, my recent post on the trim re-fit I had done at my local OPC as part of some warranty work. Currently in discussion with them about it, as well as Porsche UK. But I'm being told repeatedly that it's absolutely fine, and they're all like that.
Title is something like "is this acceptable from an OPC"
I'm pretty much done with having anything to do with using an OPC for purchase or aftercare now.
That’s quite hard to fathom, isn’t it?
And yet, people insist on voluntarily using them. My experience of using OPCs for my 981S (due to extended warranty) exposed numerous centres to be next to useless when it came to knowledge.
My experience of a reputable specialist is the exact opposite.
Unfortunately I’m back in the OPC fold due to a new 911 inbound, but I really wish that wasn’t so.
