Gents,
There's a great thread on this in the 997 forum, so I tried a quick search for this here but came up empty. I'm looking for some good ideas for a plate for my '12 Cayenne S, so does anyone have any suggestions you wanna share (or point me a thread that I may have missed)?
Thanks for the help

Saw a 750 Li the other day with "DCCL" - so maybe 955/957/958 in Roman numerals?
Growing up some guy had a yellow 911 that said "EGGYOLK"
Saw a white mclaren with black wheels and trim that said "STRMTPR"

For me, I've narrowed it down to the following short list for my '12 Cayenne S (I can only fit 5 letters on the plate I plan to use):
...
- PEPPA
- PEPPR
- PTRUK
- P TRK
- PWAGN
- P WGN
- S CAR
...

Don't know what plate I'll put on mine yet.
I'm about to take delivery of a 958 GTS and wonder about the front plate mounting options. I put one from Mini Mania that fits into the tow eye socket on my wife's Mini convertible.
I've seen others with a wider range of mounting hole options.
Has anyone used something like that on the front of a 958 and found whether it interferes with the forward sensors or not? There looks like there's enough horizontal space to allow use of something like that if it had the correct amount of offset.

However it does have one glaring issue to keep in mind. If you take it through an automatic car wash, the plate can catch on the washing mechanism and get bent. I recommend putting a solid plate frame around it. I'm looking for one that can catch on the back side of the plate and the mount to prevent the plate from being bent forward.

I went with one from US Millworks, their lightened version with the detachable mount. I figure the added holes in the lightened one will afford a few more mounting options should there be any issues with the forward sensors. Seems decently made, but I won't know how well it works until I take delivery on the 11th.

I have been thinking of PZKPFW.
The german abbreviation for Panzerkampfwagen, the WWII Panzer tank because
1. It is a light tank
2. It is an old reliable design (I have 955 turbo first rev)
3. Porsche had a role in designing both
But the only people likely to understand it are also the ones who might be offended by it.

I got it, I think it's cool.
Most armor history buffs understand that the machine has no political affiliations. And that the tactics that grew from the development of it were revolutionary (although it was as much the comm capability as the mobility of the Panzer that made the tactics workable).
One of the interesting things about history is that often, the "Bad Guys" come up with interesting and useful things/ideas. Separating the valuable idea from the repugnant source is an ok thing to do.
