Porsche original or Design911 for loading sill protection?

[Leaky]

Had "the call" from the dealership today - my new S is built and in the country. Should be at the OPC early next week.

I have a dog so want to protect the rear bumper from the start (not that he's badly behaved but it only takes a moment to collect a scratch and then it's too late).

I can buy the film from Porsche for £121.20, or I can buy it from Design 911 for £59.09 (it says Gen ii, but as the part is the same on the Porsche site for all three generations I'm assuming that it's fine).

Should I pay the extra and get the genuine Porsche one, or are Design 911 okay? Either way it will be applied by the detailer I'm taking the car to immediately after collection for a ceramic finish (he doesn't do PPF but he says he'll put it on for me if I get a cut to fit piece, and is bound to do a far better job than I would!).

Thoughts please? Save some money or stick pay the Porsche tax?

It’s just plastic film. Porsche don’t make it, they just add an extortionate margin on it.
Amazon do loads of this stuff all cut to fit the car you choose, and it might cost you around £20!
Please don’t fall for the “official Porsche” bullshit

Before the recent price increase the rear film was £47!

Thank you! I'll save at least some money then and not pay the Porsche tax.

IMO, it sucks lemons through a garden hose that manufacturers design vehicles, like the Macan, w/ a finish painted surface at the cargo sill.

Damage to that painted surface is inevitable on virtually all vehicles.

My cargo area always has a folded moving blanket that is unfurled to include covering the rear bumper whenever the vehicle is used for carrying stuff.

Cooper = great choice for off-road tyres. What do you use them on?

My recent purchase of this gorgeous 1979 Jeep CJ-5 started out as a very beautiful vehicle that I then had LOTS of fun modifying to be even nicer.

WRT to the image, I now have a set of off road tires on the OEM white wagon wheels and a set of street tires on Cragar Series 310 Nomad reproduction wheels.

It is a long drive from my southern Florida home to off road locations, so the road noise is sooo much better w/ the Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires.
