Turbo air vents cracking

[Kadafi39]

Afternoon all,

I noticed when washing my car that both plastic vent trims above the rear wheel arches have small hairline cracks in them.

I notified Porsche last week during my service and was told its not covered under warranty.

I wasn't too concerned at the time, as I thought, how much can 2 small plastic trims cost!

About £800 for both apparently! Anyone else noticed this happening on their car?

Nope someone's removed them and put them back on incorrectly. Good excuse to get carbon ones from techart or Porsche or if you're feeling super flush the GT2 RS ones are gorgeous.

I don't think they have ever been removed tbh, they sit perfectly and when I tried to remove them they were clipped in pretty solid, like they had never been out.

I did consider carbon, but with the lack of carbon elsewhere on the outside I wasn't sure it would work.

I was thinking of buying a new set and having them painted gloss black.
