Unless of course it’s temporary and it will be back on a 911 in due course!!
And we all know the answer to that one. That yellow GT4 is gradually gaining ground. Ummmm... if only they’d do a deal...?

I would put money on WngCo's plate being back on a 911 in due course unless he does go down the Mission E route in which case he will need to get rid :lol:

So what will come first, another 911 or the 20,000 postings mark? 😐

Nah, that's just a disguise. No way are they going to put fake tailpipes on an EV!

Agree with that but still a nice looking car and unmistakably Porsche

Agreed. I've put that point to the OPC. :geek:

Don't know if you had it on your Evoque, but I had it on mine, where the pipe at one side stuck out noticeably more than the other side. Occurred on more than half of Forum owners ones straight from factory - but an easy fix.

PS....I've got number plate OCD and yours would get me.

number plate.jpg

I see it on a lot of rear plates in particular where screws have different coloured caps and like your LHS black one it covers not only a black background but also a yellow one. Just think on cars with values like ours things should be a bit neater ie letters/numbers printed so don't interfere with screw holes etc - but alas, that usually doesn't happen so I normally get them to make me a back plate with no holes and stuck on foc!

With the Macan that means an extra sticky pad at each side because gap at sides is bigger than gap in middle part where two further sticking points are!

100%, Dave! I spotted it straight away! May well get a new rear plate done - as you say, no holes in it and get it stuck on! :geek:
