Just an update really, but seemed more sense to separate it from other threads where it can quickly be forgotten! You may recall I needed a new rear offside light, eBay has an offering at £699.99 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PORSCHE-MACA ... 635-2958-0
Design911.com a new one currently at £398.30 https://www.design911shop.com/p/porsche ... b945092aj/
So what does the OPC have to offer? An in-stock item, after PCGB discount, priced at £339.95!

Tell me again there's no Father Christmas :lol: :lol:

There was a time when you just bought a bulb for £2 and plugged it in.

Ebay prices for used Porsche parts are OTT from breakers, Design 911 , from parts that I've looked at, are more expensive thn OPC, so no surprise at the above , even before PCGB discount.

The lights work just fine it's the hole in the plastic that's the issue:

Neil, if you weren’t bothered with the mark, you easily seal that up with some clear silicone sealant.

That was my immediate thought but on second look it was bigger than I first thought and includes a chunk of the black outer edge so, on reflection and considering the overall economics of purchase price, premium fuel, etc. nobody will miss another £339 gone from my estate :lol:
