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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Near side lower section has warped and is coming away on my 996 turbo. Is OPC the best place to go to supply? Can you get them supplied painted? Cheers

POST 2Original post

You can buy them from Porsche already primed/undercoat. Around 1000 : RosePassion Alternatively, speak to a local bodyshop and maybe they have a trick to bend it back...probably with heat

POST 3Original post

Or following that link they are also around £250 each in black, I'm presuming you can then get them primed and painted body colour. That link says the primed £1k ones are for the aerokit option, again I'm presuming there's no difference to the actual shape however they are primed as the aerokit cars were body colour from the factory, and would then need painting too! Also worth checking if it may just be a problem with the clips which hold the skirt on

POST 4Original post

I would check the fixings. I'll be there's something missing or not fitted correctly. They have screws on the underside and clips as well, the clirps fit inro rubber inserts that may also be missing. The side skirts are pretty pliable so provided they're properly they won't go out of shape. Worth a check first before throwing money away.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the replies everyone. Going to OPC Wolverhampton on Monday for a quote. Will investigate the clips solution first too. And then report back.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok so an update. Luke at at Friends Green: Skirt £155 Paint in midnight blue - £300 10 clips and 10 bolts - £33 Fit - £50 Total with VAT added - £646 Porsche OPC: Took a week to respond after a phone call chat and a email supplying photos. “Workshop would prefer to take a look at it to diagnose properly. £300 inc VAT for this” Needless to say I’m going to order it from Luke.

POST 7Original post

So I take it the skirt was actually damaged then?

POST 8Original post

£300 just to diagnose!! I like OPC's for parts but...
