Design 911 supply replacement parts for the world’s finest car – the Porsche 911, and other members of the Porsche motoring family. Of course, there are other companies who will do much the same thing. So, what’s the advantage of using D911? Simple, really.
Data tells us there are more than 5,000 motor parts suppliers in the UK, with – unsurprisingly – the largest concentration in London, with a full 9% of motor factor companies in the capital. That gives the lucky Porsche owner more than 500 options to replace the widget, sprocket, or non-specific thingy he or she needs to get their motor runnin’. So, why make us your first point of contact?
Design 911: Home of Porsche (and premium) parts.
When you love Porsches as much as we do, you treat every customer’s car like we do our own. That means no compromising on quality. If it’s not good enough for Porsche, we won’t use it. Our unofficial strapline of ‘every part for every Porsche’ isn’t precise enough: ‘only perfect parts for every Porsche’ is closer to the mark. Check out any parts page on our site. It couldn’t be clearer.
At Design 911, we have a rule. It’s Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as first choice, and an aftermarket option as the ‘next best’. In short, if we can offer like-for-like, that’s what we’ll do. If we can’t, we’ll look for the next-best and make sure it’s a copy, not a compromise.
Plan B.
But maybe the OEM isn’t out there. The 911 is nearly 60 years old and there are more than 2,000 parts in every single one. So, there will always be gaps in the catalogue. Running a Porsche – or indeed any car – isn’t cheap and sometimes even with our discounts the part’s beyond the customer’s budget, then we’ll suggest a quality replacement that’s as good as the OEM. No Porsche? No problem. We list all the household OEM brands including Bilstein, Mann, Brembo, Textar, Bosch, Mahle and many more.
Check out our site. Enter your part number and each page lists each option, from all our trusted brands – essentially, every choice for your replacement component. Whether you get an OEM, or a high-quality alternative, you’re good to go. No compromise components, guaranteed.
Plan C.
Design 911 is a hotbed of professional Porsche expertise. It may be that the failure of an OEM is a great opportunity to tweak your car’s performance. If that’s the case, we may identify the potential for an upgrade beyond the Porsche catalogue. That level of engagement is just one benefit of speaking to an expert rather than trawling the web armed only with a part number. If you don’t ask, you’ll never know.
Insurance assurance.
Replacing the original component may involve an insurance claim and some policies are very specific about the acceptable grade of that part. Again, this isn’t something you want to discover after the event. When you know, you know. You know?
If you’re not sure, then speaking to an expert is a great way of backfilling your expertise. It can save you money, improve – or at least support – the performance of your Porsche, save any refused insurance claims and, most importantly, you’ll know that you haven’t made any compromises that Ferdinand Porsche himself wouldn’t have approved. If you’re stalking the Internet with a part number or planning to let another workshop handle your pride and joy, give us a call first. We don’t compromise. Neither should you.
