Default BONNET/TRUNK SEAL sill seals

I am going to replace my trunk seal and cowl/scuttle to fender/wing seal along with the side skirt seals windscreen seal and some other seals after paint job. Does anyone know any where cheap in the UK for these seals also should I go for original porsche seals or can I go the after market cheaper versions ? I might recycle my windscreen rubber as it came out in good condition and did not look to shabby previously either, but the other seals I need to source ?

I think most of the suppliers are much of a muchness pricewise, doesnt seem to be anything cheaper on ebay either

Peronally I would get a price from your OPC and then check with Type 911

+1 the cheap stuff just let's you down. I did mine on with non Porsche parts and had to redo all the work due it leaking.

If you are a Porsche club GB member, I found that the OPC was the cheapest for these parts last year.

Over the last couple of months i have bought lots of new rubber seals for my car ready for a full respray in April (including the ones you mentioned) and i got them from my OPC and used my PCGB discount. I didn't bother trying anywhere else.

cheers

looks like OPC is the way to go then

these where the prices I had
bonnet seal £61.78
door seal £28.36
door sill rubber sticker £26.00
side skirt seal set £52.00
scuttle/cowl seals £7.00

I think the prices included vat. Now I need to add door handle seals and headlight seals maybe rear light surround seals if they are available to buy. going to ring OPC find out prices I am not a PCGB member maybe if the discount is worth while I might join up but my local OPC gives me trade prices anyway.

Get the real Porsche part and don't try to re-use the old. Not worth the hassle.
