I agree that getting an MOT from a dealership isn’t a must, but at the same time, avoiding Halfords for MOT/Servicing is a must. Will end in tears

I have a 2014 Porsche Cayman which iv had MOT'd and serviced from Solihull, the same garage that sold me the car.

MOT is due in a few weeks and I have a free Halfords MOT voucher. Solihull is an hour away from me and they charge £55. Is it really worth paying £55 and going all that distance for dealer MOT?!

Appreciate that servicing from dealer is important but MOT......?!

Wouldn't trust anywhere like Halfords or Kwik Fit tbh. I'd rather pay for somewhere it'll be looked after.

Never had any issues with halfords/kwik fit/national when it came to getting my mot done on any of my cars. Just go whereever is cheapest or get Porsche to price match.

Think I might need to get mine back in to porsche for the second time in a month. Looks like I'm losing coolant somewhere. Bah.

Currently sat in a porsche dealer watching the rehearsal of the new 911 reveal. All very fancy I must say.

Came across this for anyone who might appreciate it:

Makes me want to buy the new Dirt Rally game :|

OPC sent me some pics of my weiss gold wheels today! looks good to me, cant wait to see them on.

Dis86 · 22 Mar 2019 at 18:45

Can't tell if it's the image or not but they barely look gold!

tom_nieto · 22 Mar 2019 at 18:59

@mikeh501 - they’re going to look so much better than the current black wheels! Lovely job! Would you consider any other Weiss gold accents/decals to match? It might lift the black nicely.

mikeh501 · 22 Mar 2019 at 19:21

not thought about it tbh. its got matte black 911r stripes on it currently. i might take the side stripes off it when i get it back. could be a bit much.

for those interested. really liking the look. the satin paint really changes colour in different lights. was much more gold in the evening sun. this was taken when the sun had pretty much disappeared. The car is filthy too.

Now all it needs is a ducktail. :cool:

Looks great. Love the 991 GTS.

Gibbo · 27 Mar 2019 at 11:18

yep those look fabulous.

Havana_UK · 27 Mar 2019 at 14:18

Confirmed, new wheel colour is great!

tom_nieto · 27 Mar 2019 at 18:07

Definitely the correct choice! They look great.

Yaayuh! · 27 Mar 2019 at 18:43

Looks lovely, minus the side Porche decal, never liked them on modern Porsches.

Wheels look the dog's danglies.

mikeh501 · 27 Mar 2019 at 19:23

Thanks all

Was thinking about removing the side decals too
