So a old car club friend of mine is a senior sales guy at Silverstone OPC where you were contacted by before. He's passed my email address onto the relevant person there to get in touch with me. 👍 Hopefully will have better luck this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsie990 Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 I was reading on the Porsche Club GB site that there is a meet at Leeds OPC coming up on 1st April (honest) and in the write up it says chance to register your 987 & 997 on the classic register. Looks like it’s a PCGB event only so need to be a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Sapsford Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Signed up my Cayman today at Porsche Hatfield, you only get one number plate surround now and the pack arrives in around 8 to 10 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted March 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Yet to see anything on mine and most likely number plate surrounds will stay in whatever packaging they arrive in but have already got 150 quid off my service quote so good result for the minimal effort I put in.

soxboy Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 I was thinking about contacting my local OPC about this, but given that it’s Leeds I might not rush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Mine came a month ago - registered feb. Nice box. Precious little in it. Haven’t seen the “originale” magazine that some of my 997 mates have received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen the “originale” magazine that some of my 997 mates have received. Took several months before my first Originale arrived. It is annual so it may be that you may not get it until next year's issue as one has only just come out for this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the welcome pack arrives, you'll wonder why you bothered. "Precious little" overstates it. I'm still waiting for the number plate surround but not holding my breath.

Paul P Posted July 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 I thought you had to collect the number plate surrounds from your nominated OPC. ? so far I have had the welcome pack and about 160 quid off the price of a service so all good as far as I am concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth shattering it ain't, but unlike many things in this world is is free and a big corporate actually doing something to reflect its history. And yes, you have to collect the number plate holders from your registered OPC. I actually got mine fitted by ordering a set of new plates (not an exorbitant price with fitting included) at the same time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eob Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I've got a 4x4 sized rear number plate, so the surrounds dont even fit. I was actually considering getting the 981 front mount to take away the overhang and give it a cleaner look, so I don't think I'll use the front one either. Mine were sent though the post fwiw.

You can't really criticise Porsche for that, as it is you choice to have non standard plates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like apple packaging without a phone enclosed. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just the plates that were on the car. So far, I've been really impressed with all I've received from the classic register, and I benfitted from the discount too.

McDonald Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 I dropped by Porsche Portsmouth today and collected my classic number plate holders. I was actually there to buy a replacement boot strut as mine keeps dropping. Happily accepted the discount and gazed at the big boys toys.😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the OE supplier and are about £15 - £20 each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Stabilus on the bonnet and they're fine. But by buying a Porsche one, I was able to collect my 'free' classic number plate surround. After Classic discount, it cost £30 - no big deal - & I got to gaze at some Pork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entdgc Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Went to OPC last week to register mine. Filled out a form at the desk and was told there was a backlog so expect something in 3 months. Got an email confirmation within hours. So according to your experience I should expect something in the new year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
