Ugh I’m so sorry to see this. I’d be absolutely furious. I had a TTS with a back panel with obvious paint flaws on the back bumper. It ruined the car for me. Porsche offered to have it resprayed but nothing could make it how it should have been.
Not very cool. Already been offered the respray under warranty. That would mean painting half the car. Not an option for me. Not giving up the car either. Not many options but to live with it. It won't ruin the car for me but it is unfortunate.

My car arrived with a tiny scratch (see pic below) on the alloy - it was damaged while offloading from the trailer from Germany. The dealer called to make me aware.
Took delivery with the damaged alloy early March.
They promised a replacement - I gave waiting after 3 months and wrote to CEO of Porsche UK demanding compensation.
They installed a dashcam for free and gave me £1,500 ($2,000) credit.
For the paintwork probs on your car they should respray and give $15k goodwill as compensation.

Wow. Good for you! That seems very generous on their part. I'm in the process of hearing back from them. We'll see what they say. Thank you for sharing your experience.
We will see what the future brings. I had the only guards red 991.2 T manual in the Netherlands. And would have again if it wasn’t for the press car. Sure will be pretty exclusive to have a manual T in our country. Only 2 of the 18 cars are manual. Which is logical here.

I bought it at a gas station. But if I read correctly what @HerrDr send it’s not correct. Still very sure she gave me one for 10 days. Could be a mistake from their side? They used to cut the holes in the vignette - can’t remember if she did this - so easy to make a mistake. I was probably just paying the same amount for my “special 10 day vignette”.
Great news everyone my T is on the boat! After spending 1.5 months in Emden she has moved to stage 8! App says she left port on the 5th of July so wondering if anyone else had their car on that and if so what boat. My salesman is off today and is going to me know in the morning. I know there is a back door way to find out, but I am fine waiting to hear from him. My guess is I should have her by end of July early august.
Thanks for that @Barkat03 I have also spec'd folding mirrors as living down here the Devon lanes are very narrow and like wherever you live is a must.
I know the comments on Rennlist are about 50/50 with RAS but one thing that put me off was the cost of a replacement lithium battery when it eventually will be needed.
I am also thinking of a car cover as sap from the trees and sky bombers is bad in rural territory. Where did you source your cover if you do not mind me asking?
Obviously, I will post pictures once my car lands UK side.
All batteries will last 3-5 years easily, and even longer if you put it on a charger every night, I have had a battery in my Jetta for 5-6 years and it has been holding up still.
Drive to an English country pub for a beer and dinner. Great way to end a summers day.
I wish I could Live in Europe, It is so pretty, when I am way older I hope to buy a sailboat and sail all over the world, what a strange combination of interests huh? Porsches and Sail Boats, are completely different from each other.
After placing a deposit for a base 992 last April and getting an allocation for a T in December my car arrived last week! I have been so busy driving it I did not even think to check Rennlist .

Today, I am in Maastricht, so I just added 50% to the total headcount of 992 T with MT in the Netherlands
For context, I took a detour to take my 992 T on a German Autobahn. Given that I have now 3800 km on the clock, it would be rude not to visit Die Autobahn, jaa?
Every time, this lovely icon popped in between the Tacho- and the Speedo-meter, it was ‘hammer time’. First sprint to 160km/h, alles gut jaa? Second sprint up to 180km/h, followed by 100km/h restriction, alles recht jaa? Third sprint up to 200km/h, wundebar!
I took the 992 T to 200km/h three times, the car was planted as if I was doing 140km/h. The motor was singing at 4000 rpm and 200km/h in 6th gear. The 992 was pulling like a train, no shortage of power here. I concluded it is a perfect car, for me right now.
Also, it is good to see that fellow motorists still have a healthy respect for 911, as I was charging like cheetah, most cars were making clear way for me. Even my missus was impressed. It was a perfect day!
Courtesy of @tourenwagen who gave me a steal price for his used GT3 side skirts. U rock bro! That lunch restaurant and IPA was awesome too. Ha, I couldn’t wait to install them. Wished I had ramps or a jack. Still pretty darn easy install on the ground. Took me about hour and half while answering work emails.
UPDATE: Tools required to install side skirts.
- Torx wrench - 25 & 30
- Quarter
- Cardboard to lie down on

The full rack of ribs they were serving was bloody good too. 😆
