Tewkesbury now organised and booked in for 9 April. It seems the wheel has to go to Swindon for assessment as to whether it’s been subject to natural causes. This, apparently, will take a full week!

Absolutely, Paul. It was quite a faff to organise. They originally said Monday 26th and then realising the Friday was a holiday suggested Monday 3rd (sic). I pointed out that the 3rd was actually a Tuesday and that Monday was also a bank holiday. Having now been told that this was another short week they settled on 9th!

Certainly gives confidence! :? :( :shock:

They could well have done. It was in for service last week and I asked about the wheel during the customer inspection. I had a pic on my phone which the SA showed to the service manager whilst I was there. I was told they’d look at the wheel but when I collected at the end of the day they hadn’t done so. The following day I emailed the photo and here we are!

It really doesn’t inspire confidence. And certainly not becoming of the marque. :(

That wheel will be in a queue and whilst the prestigious brand that Porsche is I guess the Dick Lovett Ferrari and Maserati wheels will be done first. 😂😂 Sorry 😳

This is the same DLS that didn’t put my Macan back together properly last year! :roll:

Yes, I recall!

Justin does not seem to rate them very highly.

And when I look back at photos of my 911, they didn't match my Platinum Silver paintwork perfectly when fitting the Sport Design front and rear spoilers.
