Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

ORIGINAL: daro911 Have any of you got the similar fault inside the rear boot where the manual lid stay seems to rub away a spot of paint and no matter how many times I touch it back in the area damage reappears[&o] damage seems to be done by the rear fixing point on the stay arm

I see where you mean now Daro and what's causing it. I don't have any such contact there. I think something must be out of line on yours. Maybe some kind of washer is needed so that the stay arm doesn't go so deeply though the mounting point on the rear deck, so that it doesn't go through far enough to catch on the body...
 
actually black bolts do look good! ok - here's one for the photoshoppers.... Could someone take the above (current) picture of my car (gold wheels, silver bolts) - and change the current ==== P O R S C H E === sticker into the same gold as the wheels? not so keen on the RS checks - as this isn't an RS Then decision will be made! many thanks Simon

I've never used photoshop in my life, but out there on t'Internet, there's nearly always someone who's done before what you're thinking of, even with cars are rare as ours[;)]

Thanks - not sure it looks as good as it does at the moment with the black sticker. Think I will just stick to sorting the plastic air intake surrounds thanks again

Prof flat6 ... I wish they would photoshop a 981 Spyder for us to ponder yonder [:D] I wouldn't change the stripe from black having seen this example

I have unfortunately left way beyond the warranty period now to make a claim unless goodwill was bought out of the bag. I have touched it up again since taking this picture and will see if after a few miles it's been rubbed off yet again[&o]

Even if they don't fix it under goodwill, the fix may be cheap and worth it to stop scraping the body.

When I bought mine they retro-fitted it for nothing, as I led them to believe it was a deal breaker (it wasn't!). I think they were harder for the dealers to sell when I got my Spyder though.

Just checked mine. I thought there was no mark at all but there is a tiny spot the size of a pin head, no more. I wouldn't be happy with yours Rob, I reckon OPC would fix that - corrosion warranty and all that?
 
Will put it on my to do list next visit and see how they respond In the meantime I have touched it up and will see if it reappears as this time I have used proper Chipex mixed paint and not the thick stuff you get in touch up stick [&o]
