Rav Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Did anyone else receive a mail offering them a free grill badge? There are three colour and can be obtained from the OPC you signed up to the Classic membership at. I love a good freebee. I wonder where I can fit this to my car?

edc Posted August 23, 2021 Report Share Posted August 23, 2021 Not much of a grille on a Boxster. Plenty of space on a new BMW though 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like the way they use 3 historic Le Mans liveries as inspirations without going to the obvious alcohol and tobacco related ones. 42 minutes ago, edc said: Not much of a grille on a Boxster.

The links looked suspect when I hovered over them and clicking one it was blocked as a dangerous site by my anti virus. I have contacted Porsche Cars GB to alert them to this and the possibility of a data breach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperPaulie Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I admit I thought the whole thing was dodgy looking, but then on a few Facebook groups I'm in other people had them arrive and looked totally legit, guys who have been in the group years. 🤷🏼♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rav Posted August 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I collected my badge from OPC Swindon today. Tim Jackson in parts is the man you need to speak to. I opted for the purple and green coloured badge. Well made and robust. Although, i cant find where to place it on my car. I was thinking that one of the front grills will house this nicely, but will have to make up a plate to attach it. What is this talk about data breach?

I'd had the email in the week but only got to check it properly this weekend. Hovering on the links with my mouse pointer did not show a Porsche web address, so knowing I have good AV and web protection I clicked and it flagged a dangerous site. you tell me, it looked for all the world like a phishing email with no genuine Porsche links so I reported it under the suspicion of a data breach. Being a weekend I've not had a reply yet as you might expect. If my concern was mis-placed that's fine, and to be fair it would ahve been a lot of work for a crook to put in for a fairly small phishing exercise.

Collected mine on Tuesday, the daughter picked the green badge too. I saw a couple of people have attached them to the carpeted part of the passenger door or the bulkhead between the seats. I’m thinking mine can live on the garage wall for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geopat Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Edinburgh OPC were kind enough to send me a pink one - the only one they had left. It is decent quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonFozz Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Signed up for this back in August at a PCGB event at Porsche Centre Leeds. Never got anything back and chased them up a number of times. Waste of time to be honest. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBB Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 It’s slightly bizarre that the 987 isn’t a classic yet the Cayenne 04-10 is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photogirl Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 I phoned my local OPC two days ago and was put through to the service centre - the person I then spoke to took various details and said I would receive something in the post in 3 weeks. I was also told I'd need to visit them in person to sign a form, so I'll do that when I can. They said they had no record of my car, despite it being serviced with them by the previous owner.

edc Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Don't forget these are not original spec and are a mod so would be frowned upon by the purist beards 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
