How this is eligible for an OPC warranty (modified)...

And what is meant by Gen 2 spec - surely a Gen 1 (when did Gen 2 appear?)...

I know 997.1TT got PCM3 in MY2009, but what else was different?

The top one has genuine Porsche 'Fuchs' and Sport Classic stripes probably fitted by an OPC. Its not really 'modified'.

What about the headlights, the mirrors and the air intakes?

Yes they have been painted or wrapped black, but again OPC may have done it.

Interestingly, Sheffield car isn't on the OPC search engine.

My car originally had paintshield applied by an OPC and that had to be removed.

a lot of it depends on your relationship with opc

and the second one must have had some Gen 2 upgrades, seems they have upgraded to front DRL's and the latest touchscreen PCM - to really earn that title though, they should have upgraded the rear lamps to LED ones.

2nd one says Gen 2 look in the description....not spec. So I take that to mean that it isn't a Gen 2 car.

This.
Although the underwriters of the warranty aren't usually the OPC itself - IIRC it is some 3rd party company, and so the OPC that you take it to need to 'turn a blind eye' to the mods. Not sure the underwriters would take such a lenient view, and I wouldn't like to be reliant on it.

There have been plenty of examples of modd'd cars for sale through OPC - anyone rememeber the very heavily modified, low mileage, 997 turbo that was for sale at OPC recently?

And a DFI engine amongst numerous other things!

looks a bit of a dogs dinner with the air intake in black
