What is it?

Hi Andrew, what is that ?

Hi R. It arrived in a box which says it is a "pylon". A heavy object with crest, plus your name, model name and vin, I guess as a little momento/paperweight !

Had my car for 10 months now and not received one of those 'pylons'.
Is it from Porsche direct or a dealer supply?

Ah ha I see ; so lets get this straight , I can forgive my OPC for not letting me have an R , I realise now that I'm not a chosen one - my mum doesn't love me either, I get it . But this, this is the final straw, that's it Porche and I are over - it's a bloody liberty !

It came to me with a cover letter from my dealership so I expect PCGB send them to the OPC for them to pass on to the owner.

We all love* you

Has anyone taken off, or got behind, the front lower, middle, grill?
After a trip around Europe mine has accumulated some bits of leaves and I cannot for the life of me work out how to get at them! Currently thinking of using a drinking straw attached to the vacuum cleaner!!

Ah , thanks a lot, very nice of you to say so. However, I still think I'd prefer one of those pylon thingies though

That is a very committed approach, maybe you should just not bother and go for a drive or have a pint isnstead ? (Not together obvs.)

Nice one! You are probably right and I'm being a bit anal but I was concerned the leaves, left, would eventually affect the radiator.

Think I will have to have a quiet word with OPC about missing Pylons.

What radiator, I though the grills were just for styling purposes to hide the engine ???

I think I have the answer for all those who have not yet received their Pylon.

Don't worry, yours is being sculptured and Painted in the colour of your car.

We don't want one of those of the shelf common dark grey ones

Great sunny weekend, another 200 miles in the car now! About to click over the 30000 mile mark! Mostly carried out with the roof off! Loving the car!

Mixed emotions : Delighted and sad at the same time

6,000 if we're counting. And they are getting better and better which is a very good sign!

It'd be 60,000 by now if I lived in wales...

[GT3cs]

I owned mine for 6 weeks and did 3000 mile . How does that fair .

( and I bought 2nd hand for a premium before any flipper comments :-)
