996 mk.2 splitter....how much?!!!

[m33ufo]

Just called my friendly, local OPC to order a new front GT3 splitter and was shocked at the current pricing. The quote was £326.50 inc vat. They quickly came down to £260, but still, what a crazy price. The last time I ordered one they were half that.

Luckily a quick google has brought the price back to a more affordable level.

Buy a 996 cup splitter. Should be a lot less

I asked about the Cup splitter....still over £300.

Ordered a genuine one from 9apart for £142.50 delivered

I've had a couple of cup splitters from my OPC and never paid any more than £100

[m33ufo]

I guess that was a while ago?

This morning I was quoted over £300.

No more than a couple of months ago since i bought my last one

Thanks for your efforts....I actually ordered the 9apart item directly at £142.50 this morning - genuine Porsche.

No idea what Porsche are doing with their pricing!

I guess it's possible the parts department in Cardiff messed up or you may have had a gigantic discount

Cheapest I can find so far:

Cup splitter was always around £100. I always kept 2 or 3 in the garage as spares because I ran the car so low.

[m33ufo]

Which is why I was so surprised that the list price had shot up to £300 plus from Porsche. I bought a 996 GT2 splitter about 3 years ago and that was around £180. The last 996 GT3 splitter I purchased was a few years before that and much closer to £100.
