Jonobigblind Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Took about 5-6 weeks after signing up at OPC Swindon and I had to pop in for the plate surrounds but can’t complain for free. Really like the styling on the car, seems to reinforce the original ‘period’ look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rav Posted May 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 (edited) Fitted! Thanks to Mark and Tim at OPC Swindon. If you screw the front plate holder in, you can force it to match the curve of the front bumper. They look great and are a nice touch for the car.

That looks great, I’m not sure about the front one though, do you have any pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rav Posted May 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Just for you @the baron. Its actually not as bad as it looks in the pictures. Please excuse the dust and mess, the lockdown and poor weather has meant that the garage has become the place to do most things at home - even woodwork!

The holder is screwed back to the plinth and the plate (without screws in it) it retained in the holder surely? It still curves to the profile of the bumper.

Bferry70 Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hi. After almost 7 weeks since signing the Porsche Classic Agreement I received today a black Porsche box / sleeve with a metal members card with my details and a small pamphlet? Is this all they send - and do you have to go into your local OPC to pick up the welcome pack? Is this what everyone else received? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to as the original plates were screwed in place. If i didnt go back through the same holes, i would need new plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rav Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I got a nice little book today in the post. It tells me all about the re issue and manufacture of old components they are planning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

½cwt Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 Well, you do get more. On my door mat this evening a very nicely wrapped and bound 118 page 'magazine' (book really) with lots of Porsche guff in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed you should get a magazine which is released twice a year, so you should get the latest copy in your pack. @Bferry70youve been short changed, I’d demand a full refund 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a hardback book / catalogue from Porsche yesterday, with lists and pictures of all their Classic Porsche parts. I'm now waiting for the 1 litre of motor oil!😜 From what I've read on this thread, I have to go into my OPC for the number plate surrounds. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately my OPC is just 2 miles down the road so I don’t mind dropping in on them (and drool over their stock at the same time!). Like many others have said, it took almost 7 weeks for my welcome pack to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photogirl Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 I'm pleased to say that after registering in October and chasing a few times, my number plate surrounds and badge (in red) arrived today. Still no sign of my classic register paperwork, but hopefully that will follow fairly soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevemorg Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 3 months since I registered - nothing other than a couple of promises to "chase it up" - not that surprised TBH as its the same dealer that hasn't replied to emails re. a few (admittedly small) parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd advise you persist because this is a service you've been offered and I intend to keep going with the reminders until I've got what has been promised.

Andy Mac Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 This was mentioned to me back in October when I was at Cambridge OPC (buying some parts for my old 996 first of many visits 😂). They took my details and I’d forgotten all about it. This pack arrived this week - fancy box / booklet of benefits - like several free washes (with an old broom no doubt) etc - and a card ohhhhh! As @Rav mentioned earlier in this post. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
