The Ruling from Porsche was and i expect still is that ..

No Third party items can be fitted and passed on a 111 point check .

Its a blanket rule to stop any confusion from different OPC,s thinking this part is ok whilst that part isn't .

NO third party items period is what Porsche means .

it's not right but rather like the Mot rules .. there are no grey areas ( so we are told ) its all black and white !

Still can't workout why Porsche don't provide grilles for protecting rads?
Doesn't make sense.

I think they do on some of the newer cars as it makes total sense .. but this is one of the stupid retrofit items that falls under a blanket rule .. if it's not a Porsche fitted item .. ie third party then its a fail .

My feeling ... Porsche has to say No third party items period as the mechanics are not trusted with making a sensible opinion of what should be allowed and what shouldn't ...

There is also the matter of Porsche paying to have a third party item replaced under warranty which they HAVE NOT supplied or made any profit on , on a new car... on this point i totally agree with them ... why should they , they warenty their parts .. not a third parties items .

A pass but the item is not covered would be a better alternative perhaps as long as it in no way can affect the car and cause issues .. but we are back at a blanket rule to be safe as this is impossible to say or monitor ..

A no win situation i feel .

ie my zunsport grills are corroded .. i want Porsche to pay for replacements ... hmm ..
