Elmer Fudd Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Got mine from Norwich OPC on Saturday, the Mrs picked the red one, where to put it? Show me yours! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I registered 10wks ago, still nothing, have chased my OPC but got to thing as yet 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't done this already, next time you're passing an OPC I'd recommend going in - they'll be able to find your registration on their system. I've always found OPCs snobby towards Boxster owners 😾 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the exact words in an email from the Aftersales Manager. (his spelling mistake) "Joining the resister is straight forward and does not require a visit to the centre, we will fill on the form on your behalf and you should receive a membership pack shortly."

I must have sounded like I mean business in my email 😆.... ...probably helped that no one responded for a week because he was off. Thought it was just one plate surround you got, fantastic, means i'll have a spare!

I only spoke to him yesterday! I'm guessing the form they fill in goes to HQ and from there they stick you on the register and Porsche UK send you the welcome pack. That probably takes weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my thoughts!! Maybe they know putting the Cayenne on the list will hardly result in floods of owners heading to the dealer. I would guess the 987 will have a fair few more. I for one am looking forward to when they add it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, maybe they have been filled, should have square holes that you put a little plastic thing in. The front plate must be mounted to the number plate bracket on the front, but I don't think they look good on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photogirl Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Still waiting on mine, it's been a number of weeks now and I've tried chasing it. I'll give it another week and try again. Pretty bad service, but that's been my experience at OPCs. Emailed my OPC a week ago about it and was told they would chase the badge and plate surround, but the paperwork wasn't something they could help with (as that's administered by Porsche Cars GB).
