Compensation - who did not take delivery (Cat B)

Where are the 3 stickers supposed to be? I didn't really look, but I definitely have one on inside of engine cover.
Jim-- are you replacing with stock stone guards? I'm going to do clear bra, rockers, and extending up to rear fenders and covering a larger area. Not as thick as the stone guards, but should offer adequate protection, more area, and no yellowing.

Sorry to reawaken this thread but I'm still talking to Porsche about getting compensation for my engine swap.
I'm being told that because the car was at the factory then I don't get compensation. That has been the same message given to all UK Cat B owners in my position. Cat B where it made it to the dealer have been compensated.
My question is: has anyone who's a Cat B where the car was not shipped/at factory been compensated? And whereabouts in the world are you?
I do think it's a bit off that they appear to have drawn the line there. My car has had its engine swapped and has a certificate to prove it etc. It should be a bit like buying a refurbished iPhone directly from Apple. You can do it and you get a small discount!

Paul, we also got our 18 way seat orders reimbursed in full - additional $2600 or so, and received an invite for a weekend in Atlanta for a track event at PCNA. Still waiting on the details.

Just had a chat with Customer Services at PUK and they were arguing pretty strongly against me. They didn't agree that a car with its engine swapped and an accompanying certificate was in any way substandard. The guy said he was going to raise it with PAG but as he doesn't appear to have sympathy I doubt he will argue my case very hard with them. He's apparently going to ask them about inconsistencies between UK and US market for Cat B owners.
My view is if you have a swap and a certificate you should get comp as it's like buying a refurbished iPhone.

If they gave you the option of canceling your order and you still decided to go through with it they may have a point.
There is no doubt the 2014 swapped versions will be less valuable than the 2015's. With all the buybacks as well, there will be confusion in the second hand market and 2014's will have a small dark cloud over them.

Did they give you the option of declining the car purchase when the swap was presented?

I also received 4 new tires due to long stay at the port . Tires will be installed when my dash gets here end of this month.
