Porsche factory PPF

I had this ticked and when I was going through the options with the dealer, he basically told me that the quality of their own PPF is a little up and down.

He said recently the quality has been so bad they have to had to correct it (with PPF guys they recommend) when the car lands at the dealer or customers weren't happy with it.

He actually advised me to get it done independently. He said they use topaz when customers want the dealer to sort it out of them but said they are pretty expensive so gave me a list of good PPF guys in the SE.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. Were they saying that it was dealer or the customer that pays for the factory stuff be sorted out at Topaz? Am guessing it'd be dealer.

Yes, the Porsche centre would correct it via topaz or one of the other guys they use and bill Porsche directly or something like that.

Got it. Thanks. That's making me lean towards factory fit, which is cheaper and more efficient - and in effect underwritten by the dealership

Does the factory fit ppf wrap around the edges. If not, im not sure anyone would be happy with it other than on a temporary basis.

Not from the pictures I’ve seen.

There are some terrible examples of the factory fit options on the Facebook groups. Edges not tucked in etc…

I saw one in the showroom done. The bit around the badge was awful. Like when your mum has a st screen protector.

[MikeM3Power]

Yes I've heard of more bad examples than good examples, so I have unticked the option and will do it with a PPF firm

[FirstSeaLord]

Ah. Not good then.

Did some searching for the Facebook groups but couldn't find any that were relevant. If no trouble, can someone point me in the right direction, but think I've now got enough context to know what to do anyway...

Porsche PPF teams have really improved over the years. So I would use it confidently. I am also a Topaz client who are still a reference too.

Just resurfacing this thread as my spec locks very soon.

Keen to know if anyone else has direct experience of it and can comment on its quality.

Thanks.

I’ve had no problems on 2 cars now, it’s also covered under the warranty for any peeling so well worth it

It’s no longer available on base Carrera. Has been removed

I had a inclusion on the front bumper, they instructed their local guy to replace it, other than the one inclusion doesn't look too bad. Although my local guy does wrap the edges, where Porsche don't.

[First Sea Lord]

Thanks everyone. This is useful.

My Taycan arrived at the dealer today with front end PPF from factory. It was peeling off on the front bumper so they are now using a local company to re-install the PPF. They told me they are having no ends of issues with factory PPF - it is also delaying a lot of cars from factory and 75% of them are needing to be redone on delivery. Rumour has it that Porsche will soon remove this as an option as it's nothing but a nightmare for them!

AVOID IT!
