I bought the umbrella from 9-apart-Ltd on eBay for £68 (UK item no.182643161209). I believe they have a good reputation on and off of eBay. They quoted Porsche part number WAP0500800L. From what they said, I think it may pre-date the 991 version as, via messages, the guy said the slot had disappeared off the 991 and he hadn't realised that it had reappeared on the 992. The umbrella sits very slightly proud of the slot but doesn't catch the door bottom (see photo). Hope that helps!

It’s also a handy place to keep pens for your co-driver. 😉

Porsche won't let you configure the base wheels in that colour, you have to specify the larger wheels as well, costing a cool £2,000 or thereabouts. I had my original wheels, including the hub centres, re-finished for just over £500 and think they look much better than the original. What do you think? Before...

Before

After
Much better...very nice

Thanks. I actively wanted the smaller 19/20" wheels because I thought it might marginally improve the ride comfort and marginally reduce the road noise which, personally, was potentially a bit of an issue. I wasn't so keen on the bright silver alloys so this seemed like a good solution. I now have the best of all worlds (for me).
