Cost of (exterior) plastic trim on door & front & rear panel

[aporschefan]

I called Porsche recently and asked them how much the exterior plastic trim which sits on the front panel, door and rear quarter costs. I was surprised when Porsche said its £120 for the three pieces. (One side only.)

Does anyone know if this is available for less money from elsewhere?

 

[944 man]

Used. Most broken cars are crushed with them still attached.

Try type 911?

Tbh I don't think that's expensive at all, price up some plastic mouldings for current cars (non Porsche).

Then again I have just stepped away from another marque where people were willing to pay £1200 for an original unused rear spoiler, £350 for a dipstick, £1000 for an airfilter box, £1200 for a front grill and blank cheques for original fitment ancient tyres ....... what sort of exotica commands these prices ?

The humble Ford Escort !!

Cheers, Paul

What engine is your car running Paul? I can only assume at those prices you have a Mk1 or 2 Escort .

What bits do you mean? If its the rubbing strips on the side of the car I have a set that you can have for the postage cost. I took them off as I was looking for a smoother look.

Give Glenn at Porsche Centre Leicester a try,those bits sound postable.

I had a yellow RS2000 Custom, Frenchys old car, but I don't have a photo , it was in bits when I bought it ...........and in more bits when I sold it [X(]

I'm in Leicester once a week and not too far from the showroom so could collect if needed.

I did call them and the chap I spoke to said he is looking at a picture and doesn't think there is any thing on the door apart from the handle...

Just give them the part numbers from PET, saves any misunderstanding! []

That's hardly inspiring. He's looking on the wrong page on PET. He's looking at section "804: doors" as opposed to "810: mouldings, insignias".

 

[George Elliott]

He's looking on the wrong page on PET

Did he enquire if it was 2 door or 3 door?

Trust me he knows 944s inside out.
(young trainee holding fort whilst he is away,I called today for him to ask something race related...)

 

[aporschefan]

Colin,

I sent you a pm but not sure if you have had a chance to check your messages. I'm happy top pay for postage but would like them by Thursday 14 if at all possible? I can make the payment online if you pm me your details.

I spoke to Glenn at Leicester and he said £108 (delivered) which is a little cheaper than my local opc.

 

[MarkK]

10 per cent cheaper!!??

 

[aporschefan]

Yup, spoke to Glenn and that's the price he gave me for all 3 trim pieces for one side.
